Vocal practices for achieving embodied coordination
In this course you will learn how to use video data for prototyping. The course provides hands-on training in working with video clips, including transcription and identification of relevant actions. You will familiarize with core interaction analytic concepts (grounded in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis) and will learn how to do an action-by-action analysis. Working on …

Robot sound spans a wide continuum, from subtle motor hums, through music, bleeps and bloops, to human-inspired vocalizations, and can be an important means of communication for robotic agents. This first workshop on sound in HRI aims to bring together interdisciplinary perspectives on sound, including design, conversation analysis, (computational) linguistics, music, engineering and psychology. The …

From introduction: Sound is an important interaction modality and a large part of human interaction happens in the aural domain. While research in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has long explored spoken language for interacting with humans, sound as a broader—and, to a significant degree, non-lexical (i.e., without words)—medium has been given comparably less attention. Yet, the …

Löfgren presented at NORDISCO23 in Tampere, "Are you serious? Depictions at opera rehearsals" Abstract: During scenic opera rehearsals, the participants work together to create portrayals of characters to music. They use depictions--momentary scenes staged for the other participants--to propose and negotiate character behaviors that suit the developing aesthetics of the performance. This paper focuses on …

Kerrison presented at NORDISCO23 in Tampere on "Practices of initiation in sports cheering". Abstract: Instances of incipient talk have traditionally been defined as interactions where participants treat long silences as non-final and unproblematic "adjournments" (Schegloff & Sacks, 1973) of response relevance. This was originally understood in relation to speech but multimodal interaction research has been …

Keevallik, Hofstetter, and Julia Katila (Tampere University) gave a sneak peak of their upcoming paper at Nordisco23 in Tampere, with the presentation "Sounds and touch during affective episodes between romantic partners", based on data collected by Julia Katila. Abstract: Research on interaction has only recently ventured into the domain of the senses, hitherto considered inaccessible …

Hofstetter, Keevallik, Kerrison, Löfgren, Pelikan & Wiggins presented at OFTI, Uppsala, Sept. 21-22, 2023. Responses to response cries Goffman’s (1978) seminal work on response cries showed the social order inherent in the sounds often thought to be chaotic. While Goffman claimed that RCs produce “no dialog”, studies of recorded interaction show that RCs are regularly …

Löfgren presenterade sin avhandling på OFTI konferensen, Sept. 21-22 2023, Uppsala. ”En situation, en kropp, som passar med musiken”: Gestaltningar under operarepetitioner I detta föredrag kommer jag att presentera resultat från min avhandling som ska publiceras i november i år. I avhandlingen studerar jag, med hjälp av multimodal interaktionsanalys (Broth & Keevallik, 2020), hur en …

Kerrison presented at the 39th annual OFTI conference, Uppsala, Sept. 21-22. Did you SEE that? The co-construction of a match between two invisible wrestlers In the execution of a professional wrestling move it is often the recipient that will actually make the move look impressive by “selling” it with their reaction. Recipients will stagger backwards …

Kerrison presented at the Embodied Syntax Network Conference, Sept 7-8 2023. A grammar of collective chanting at sporting events Chanting as a practice in collective cheering is recognizable by the use of specific sets of rhythmic Chanting Cadences (Kerrison, 2018). The use of a known and conventional cadence provides mutually recognizable instructions for prosody, pacing, …
