Abstract

This chapter studies how a visually impaired person (VIP) orients towards his seeing co-participants’ visual perception, utilizing an available material object as a situated resource for recipient design, and how common ground is established even though he neither shares their visual perception nor has the ability to monitor their visual orientation. Through the sequential unfolding of an explanation sequence, this chapter shows how the object is a significant resource employed throughout all sequential positions. The analysis is divided into three excerpts: (1) initiating the object as relevant; (2) utilizing the object; and (3) closing the explanation sequence. This chapter contributes to the extensive studies on recipient design by investigating how a visually impaired person, via the affordances of an object, displays sensitivity towards his co-participants’ visual perception in the pursuit of intersubjectivity.
