“…[15,23,35]) rather than direct observation of the interaction in and around the video calls. We follow studies employing direct observation using both static video capture [2,30] and screen recording [19] to record actual interactions, which allow us to explore the interactional work of video mediated encounters between family members.…”

“…Secondly, existing studies have mostly focused on how parents use video calls to maintain intimate relationships between their children and remote grandparents (e.g. [30]). In our case, it is the parents who are away from their children, and not just for a short period, but several years.…”

“…For this study, we do not examine a range of other moments e.g. where grandparents talk to parents directly (facing the camera) or points where grandparents switch the camera to show children (see [30]) to their parents. Instead, this study is restricted to moments of interaction within longer phone calls where facilitation work is required for the child to engage with their parent(s).…”

Mobile video calling technologies have become a critical link to connect distributed families. However, these technologies have been principally designed for video calling between two parties, whereas family video calls involve young children often comprise three parties, namely a co-present adult (a parent or grandparent) helping with the interaction between the child and another remote adult. We examine how manipulation of phone cameras and management of co-present children is used to stage parentchild interactions. We present results from a videoethnographic study based on 40 video recordings of video calls between 'left-behind' children and their migrant parents in China. Our analysis reveals a key practice of 'facilitation work', performed by grandparents, as a crucial feature of three-party calls. Facilitation work offers a new concept for HCI's broader conceptualisation of mobile video calling, suggesting revisions that design might take into consideration for triadic interactions in general.

“…The ease of international travel and communication has led also to the possibility of migrants' maintaining close relationships with family members left behind. Studies of geographically dispersed families, including those from the Chinese diaspora, have explored how digital technologies remediate and extend parenting practices (Madianou and Miller 2012;Madianou 2016;Chen 2019), facilitate multigenerational family connections across geographical locations (Kang 2012;Zhou and Xiao 2016;Share, Williams and Kerrins 2018), and enable the co-construction of intimate family spaces for geographically dispersed households (Sukunawa 2014;Zhao X. 2019), all of which are framed as interactional achievements using technologically mediated communication.…”

Chronotopic (non)modernity in translocal mobile messaging among Chinese migrants in the UK

Migration is often seen as crossing both space and time, from the traditional past to the modern present, while leading to perceived changes in migrants themselves. This article draws on data from a large ethnographic project to explore the ways in which Chinese translocal families dispersed between China, Hong Kong and the UK exploit mobile messaging apps to negotiate the post-migration value of Chinese-ness and Chinese tradition in geographically dispersed family and social contexts. Drawing on the concept of the mobile chronotope, we show how Chinese families and friends employ textual and multimodal resources to negotiate mobile chronotopes of (non)modernity in translocal mobile messaging interactions. Our discourse analysis focuses on critical junctures at which modernist chronotopic negotiations are most visible. The article contributes to an understanding of the discursive construction of multiple (non)modernities by showing how migrants (re)position themselves along a gradient of chronotopic modernity in everyday mobile messaging encounters.
