The current thesis explores conditions for participation in interview interaction. Drawing on the ethnomethodological idea that knowledge is central to participation in social situations, it examines how interview participants navigate knowledge and competence claims and the institutional and moral implications of these claims. The data consists of, in total, 97 audio-recorded interviews conducted as part of a national Swedish evaluation of support interventions for children exposed to violence. In three studies, I use discursive psychology and conversation analysis to explicate how interview participants in interaction (1) contribute to and negotiate institutional constraints and (2) manage rights and responsibilities related to knowledge. The findings of study I and study II show that child interviewees actively cooperate with as well as resist the constraints of interview questions. However, the children’s opportunities for participation in this institutional context are limited by two factors: (1) recordability; that is, the focus on generating recordable responses and (2) problematic assumptions underpinning questions and the interpretation of interview answers. Apart from restricting children’s rights to formulate their experiences, these factors can lead interviewers to miss opportunities to gain important information. Also related to institutional constraints, study III shows how the ideal of model consistency is prioritized over service-user participation. Thus, the three studies show how different practices relevant to institutional agendas may hinder participation. Moreover, the findings contribute to an understanding of how issues of knowledge are managed in the interviews. Study II suggests the importance of the concept of believability to refer to people’s rights and responsibilities to draw conclusions about others’ thoughts. And the findings of study III demonstrate how, in evaluation interviews with social workers, children’s access to their own thoughts and feelings are based on a notion of predetermined participation; that is, constructed as contingent on wanting what the institutional setting offers. Thus, child service users’ low epistemic status, compared to the social workers, trumps their epistemic access to their own minds. These conclusions, about recordability, believability, and predetermined participation, are based on interaction with or about children. However, I argue that the findings relate to interviewees and service users in general. By demonstrating the structuring power of interactive practices, the thesis extends our understanding of conditions for participation in the institutional setting of social research interviews.

The major objective of this thesis is to study the processes of traditionalisation that are being enacted in relation to both the external and internal production of the play "The Power and the Glory" that has been performed in Alvastra Abbey ruin since 1988. During three weeks in July the ruins and their environs are transformed into a rehearsal area, and a live stage, with lay actors performing different roles, a supporting staff and an audience. The thesis asks questions about how the staging of the play is impacted by a politics of culture, why this particular site or topography can be read as a story about a nation, what mediating connections there are between the yearly productions and, finally, how the rehearsals activate and reproduce the accumulated memory of the play and the place. The thesis connects with discussions on how "space" is charged with symbolic and cultural meanings, the use of history and cultural heritage, and story-telling. These approaches are combined with analysis of how participants in interaction use multiple resources (talk, spatial organisation, gestures, gazes, movements and postures) to invokethe spatial aspects of the play as well as to put the story of the play in place. The methodological approach of the thesis combines fieldwork (personal observations, videotaping and audio-recordings) with analysis of written material, press cuttings, archival material, and books and illustrations about the area and its history. In conclusion, this dissertation makes visible how Alvastra Abbey is associated with imagined cultural, political and social entities such as a nation, a province, and a local community. "The Power and the Glory", it appears, constitutes one agent among others in a long term meaning making process. One point made in this book is that although the story of the play is legitimised through references to a past that already has become meaningful in earlier processes of traditionalisation, the work of the Association of Alvastra Chronicle Play and the rehearsal process also creates a traditionalisation process of its own.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar as estruturas de participação encontradas na falaem- interação de sala de aula de uma escola pública de Porto Alegre. A fundamentação teórico-metodológica adotada nesta pesquisa está ancorada na Microetnografia Escolar. O conceito de estruturas de participação apresentado também conta com contribuições teóricometodológicas advindas da Análise da Conversa Etnometodológica e Sociolingüística Interacional. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de um trabalho de campo que envolveu a geração de dados etnográficos e microetnográficos, com observação participante e geração de dados audiovisuais. As gravações realizadas foram de interações de sala de aula e do Conselho de Classe Participativo, que acontece na escola alvo da pesquisa. Na análise dos dados, foi observado que a construção de participação que é realizada na fala-em-interação de sala de aula e no conselho de classe está relacionada com a história da escola e com as ações cotidianas dos educadores que possibilitam a manutenção diária do projeto políticopedagógico da escola, que prima pela inclusão social. O espaço de participação construído no conselho de classe, em que todos podem participar e ter a palavra para dizer o que estão aprendendo e o que está difícil de aprender, possibilita também com que os alunos dessa escola passem a ser protagonistas de seus processos de aprendizagem. A análise mais de detida das atividades realizadas no pré-conselho revela diferentes práticas como prestações de contas, orquestração das falas dos participantes, possibilidades de escolhas e a construção conjunta de autoria, que constituem o evento como um espaço em que se dá voz e se ratifica a participação de todos. Além disso, a relação entre participação e aprendizagem construída por meio das ações dos educadores evidencia que, para que se possa transformar a escola em um espaço de aprendizagem para todos, é fundamental ter a participação de cada um, fazendo com que o aprendizado seja parte do engajamento, protagonismo e autoria de todos. / This master thesis is aimed at analyzing participation structures observed in classroom talk-ininteraction in a public school in Porto Alegre from a microethnographic perspective. The concept of participation structures adopted has also benefited from theoretical and methodological contributions of Conversation Analysis and Interactional Sociolinguistics. Fieldwork research included generation of ethnographic and microethnographic data, participant observation and audiovisual recordings of classroom interactions and of the Conselho de Classe Participativo (Participative Class Meeting), which takes place at the researched school. It was observed that the pupils’ constant participation, fostered during both classroom talk-in-interaction and the class meetings, was related to the history of the school and to recurrent actions taken by teachers and educators, which allowed the socially inclusive political-pedagogical project of the school to be put into practice daily. The arena of participation constructed in the class meetings, during which anyone could participate and take the turn to say what s/he was learning and what difficulties s/he was facing, allowed pupils at this school to be protagonists in their own learning processes. A more detailed analysis of the activities during a preparatory assembly for the class meetings revealed the emergence of several practices (such as accounts, orchestration of participants’ turns, management of the pupils’ choices and construction of collective authorship), characterizing the class meeting as an event in which opportunity to participate was given to all and constantly ratified. Furthermore, the observed relationship between participation and learning promoted by the actions of teachers and educators revealed that, in order to transform the school into an arena of learning to all, it is crucial that each and every pupil participate, so that the learning process results from the commitment, participation and authorship of everyone.

Grounded in theories of Ethnomethodological Conversation Analysis (ECA) and in Interactional Sociolinguistics (IS), we analyze the linguistic and discursive choices of these students, observed from the talk-in-interaction in a focus groups, to identify how these students demonstrate membership in certain social categories. To collect the data, we used a focus group, through which students narrated their experiences of living in a peripheral neighborhood. After a detailed transcript of the data generated in the meetings with students, which was done according to the proposal from ECA, we analyzed it based on the concept of Sacks&#8223; Membership categorization (1992). Since the categorization processes are in use and in constant negotiations, we revealed, thus, students' discursive action, during interactions with one another, to build their identities through self-categorization and categorization. The results of this research indicate participants&#8223; orientation throughout the interaction, building, through speech, the identity of outsiders, ratifying the label assigned to them by those who occupy prestigious positions of power and by those who recognize themselves as the "good society", as Elias e Scotson (2000). By categorizing themselves as deviant, the participants seem to perceive their place in the city surveyed, but, they do not often accept this label passively: this generates reports of a conflictual relationship between these young people and the members of the so-called "good society". Thus, we conclude that through membership categorization, students build and assume the identity of outsiders, and that a description and categorization work is quite relevant to the study of the construction of social identities. / Partindo da premissa básica de que a linguagem é uma forma de ação social, o objetivo central deste estudo é analisar como alunos da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) de uma escola pública localizada em um bairro periférico de uma cidade do interior de Minas Gerais constroem e assumem as suas identidades sociais. Embasados em teorias da Análise da Conversa Etnometodológica (ACE) e da Sociolinguística Interacional (SI), analisamos as escolhas linguístico-discursivas desses alunos, observadas a partir da fala-em-interação em grupos focais, para verificar como esses estudantes demonstram pertencimento a determinadas categorias sociais. Para coleta de dados, utilizamos a técnica do grupo focal, através da qual os discentes narram a experiência de morar em um bairro periférico. Após uma minuciosa transcrição dos dados gerados nos encontros com os estudantes, feita de acordo com a proposta da ACE, fizemos uma análise baseada no conceito de Categorização de Membros, de Sacks (1992). Uma vez que os processos de categorização estão em uso e negociações constantes, revelamos, assim, a ação discursiva dos estudantes, durante interações entre si, para a construção de suas identidades por meio de autocategorização e categorização. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontam a orientação dos participantes durante a interação, os quais constroem, através da fala, a identidade de outsiders, ratificando o rótulo que lhes é atribuído por aqueles que ocupam posições de prestígio e poder e que se reconhecem como a boa sociedade , os quais chamaremos de estabelecidos, assim como Elias e Scotson (2000). Ao se categorizarem como desviantes, os estudantes de EJA demonstram perceber o lugar deles na cidade pesquisada, mas, muitas vezes, não aceitam passivamente tal rótulo, o que gera relatos de uma relação conflituosa entre esses jovens e os estabelecidos. Assim, ao concluir que, através da categorização de membros, os estudantes constroem e assumem a identidade de outsiders, demonstramos que o trabalho de descrição e de categorização de membros é bastante pertinente para o estudo da construção de identidades sociais.
