Synopsis

What role do material objects play in the in-situ, embodied and spatial circumstances of interaction? How do people organize their embodied conduct with regard to such objects, and how is this consequential in and for their work practices? In this volume, contributors focus on these questions, specifically to the extent they concern connections between ongoing courses of action within work practices, an object's materiality and mobility in space, bodily manipulation of objects, the body and language. The chapters in this book address a broad range of settings and actions (including dressmaking, foreign language teaching, international business meetings and forklift driving) where a variety of objects become relevant, in addition to participants' bodies.
