Thanks for persisting with the research @yvonnetsecrepaldi.bsky.social and I recognise the long fermentation period. Some papers just need a bit more time to get themselves where they need to be.
Thinking that @bogdanahuma.bsky.social might also be interested in reading this too 💬🫷🧑

Delighted to share that my #resistance paper is out — with much resistance along the way 😅

The data originates from my PhD. So from ideation to data collection, and publication it took…13 years! I will be faster next time 🤞

Thanks to my mentor KK Luke #emca

Calls: Digital P(a)lates: The Language of Online Food Practices

2nd Call for Papers: The performance of food has become ubiquitous in the digital realm, where we find content saturated with all things culinary, gustatory, and gastronomic. From food porn images to restaurant reviews, from what-I-eat-in-a-day-videos to cooking shows, from mukbang to forum posts with food advice – people negotiate and display their food practices online, to be consumed and regurgitated by others via their digital devices. This is often based on co-occurring linguistic perfor

Calling #EMCA researchers interested in eating

I mean, those who research eating practices, not just those of us who eat.

Sally Wiggins Young @profsalwiggins.bsky.social · Jun 24

If you conduct video-based, interactional analysis (think CA, DP, EMCA, linguistic anthropology) on eating in social interaction, then EatSiN might be for you. Contact me for more details!

Had the privilege of hosting a workshop last week with some stellar researchers in the field of interactional approaches to eating.

We're establishing a new research network...if it involves eating within social interaction, we're in!

This book investgates the situated (re)prodution of categories, from the most mundane and unremarkable to those most strongly associated with power and privilege. By examining the reciprocal
relationships between categorial phenomena and the basic
structures and practices of social interaction, the book provides a new
framework for integrating conversation analysis and membership
categorization analysis.
