Abstract

In this paper, we analyse the organisation of participation in a screen-centred intergenerational interaction. Drawing on three excerpts documenting a family game session, we highlight spatial, material and temporal issues as constitutive dimensions for the study of interaction complexity. From a spatial perspective, participants can navigate between different positions in front of the screen, across a two-row arrangement and a side-by-side configuration. From a material perspective, the screen can be mobilised either as a technological device displaying the virtual setting for game actions or as a fragile object, from which children must keep a distance. From a temporal perspective, local accomplishments on the screen can be prospectively addressed, retrospectively assessed or embedded within the overall organisation of the session.
