“…Conversation analysts have been exploring, for example, those practices through which the participants show their resistance or reluctant stance towards certain practices in different institutional or everyday settings (e.g. Koole, 2003;Land & Kitzinger, 2005;Macbeth, 1990;Peräkylä, 2002;Stokoe, 2006;Tainio, 2002;Vehviläinen, 2008). CA allows a context sensitive analysis of agency as well as a fine-grained and detailed investigation of those aspects of actors' agencies that are observable through their activities (Peräkylä, 2002; see also Ahearn, 2001).…”

“…Thus, the category of ‘wife’ can, within a conversational context, entail ‘being heterosexual’ and ‘running a household’ (Tainio, 2002), even though those features may not be required on strictly logical‐semantic grounds. So a woman may be correctly categorized as a ‘mother’, ‘worker’, or ‘wife’, with each category carrying a different set of ‘category‐bound activities’, predicates, or ‘rights and obligations’ that an incumbent of that category can be expected to perform or possess (Watson and Weinberg, 1982).…”

This article examines current debates about gender equality, work-life balance and flexible working. We contrast policymakers' and organizational discourses of flexible working and work-life balance with managers' and employees' talk about these issues within their organizations. We show how, despite the increasingly gender-neutral language of the official discourses, in the data studied participants consistently reformulate the debates around gendered explanations and assumptions. For example, a 'generic female parent' is constructed in relation to work-life balance and flexible working yet participants routinely maintain that gender makes no difference within their organization. We consider the effects of these accounts; specifically the effect on those who take up flexible working, and the perceived backlash against policies viewed as favouring women or parents. We argue that the location of work-life balance and flexibility debates within a gender-neutral context can in practice result in maintaining or encouraging gendered practices within organizations. Implications of this for organizations, for policymakers and for feminist researchers are discussed.

“…Harvey and Shalom 1997; Leap 1996; Livia and Hall 1997). Researchers are calling, however, for an expansion of the object of study and the range of social situations and linguistic phenomena to be investigated (Cameron and Kulick 2003; Campbell‐Kibler, Podesva, Roberts and Wong 2002), such as how people construct desire and their sexual selves in interaction (Channel 1997; Tainio 2002) or how people talk about desire (Hall 1995; Hoey 1997; Knowles 1997; Langford 1997; Radway 1991). Studies on how desire emerges in naturally occurring conversations are scarce, and thus the present study of how people flirt, express attraction, or use erotic talk in dating Internet chat rooms can advance our knowledge of the social dimension of desire in general, and the role of language in the expression and construction of desire in particular.…”

Three half-hour conversations each from five English and four Spanish dating chat rooms were analyzed following conversation analytic methodologies. Participants in the chats often engaged in playful and humorous erotic conversations, using a set of interactionally negotiated conventions about chatting that constitute a play frame, characterized linguistically by graphemic representations of laughter, appropriations, reproduction of a humorous pronunciation, and interactions through alter personae. Such playfulness enhances participants' pleasure while allowing them to maintain critical distance, and balances the constraints of public interaction with the pursuit of private erotic pleasures. This study contributes to our understanding of the social and discursive dimension of sexuality, going beyond issues of sexual identity and focusing on the conversational negotiation of eroticism and desire.
