Abstract
Social interaction takes place not simply between "speakers" and "recipients" but among participants that are variously capable of acting, sensing and moving in the material world. Without forgetting the centrality of language, research on social interaction can be seen to have undergone an 'embodied turn' (Nevile 2015), in which analytical foci, concepts and tools have developed to take into (better) account the various bodily, material and spatial resources that participants may draw on (for seminal early work, see, e.g. Goodwin 1980; Goodwin 1981; Heath 1986). Recent research has indeed explored how the different dimensions of materiality (e.g. Nevile et al. 2014; Tuncer/Haddington/Licoppe 2019), embodiment (e.g. Streeck/Goodwin/LeBaron 2014; Goodwin/Cekaite 2018; Mondada 2019), and mobility (e.g. Haddington/Mondada/Nevile 2013) may feature in the organization of social interaction. Studies have also investigated the coordination, or perhaps synchronization, of individual mobile and sensing bodies (e.g. Broth/Mondada 2013; Kreplak/Mondémé 2014; Mondada 2018), also as formations or units that need to reconcile with mobile others or with some static entities (e.g. McIlvenny/ Broth/Haddington 2014; Deppermann et al. 2018; Due/Lange 2018; Deppermann 2019). However, little is known about social meaning‐making practices between multiple interconnected bodies in motion, that is, how participants use, together with language and other resources, different forms of bodily contact in situated, locally managed social activities that involve mobility. Further analysis is therefore required to better understand the complex, reflexive link between the organization of social interaction, materiality, embodiment, and mobility; a link that is fundamental to human sociality.
