Abstract
This article analyzes the activity of accountability, or accounts, which, in turn, circumscribes actions (ways of acting through speech-in-interaction) performed by a breast cancer patient during a follow-up appointment with her oncologist. The data analyzed here are part of a corpus of 20 audio-recorded consultations between oncologists and breast cancer patients in a private hospital in the southern region of Brazil between 2012 and 2014. The interactions were transcribed and analyzed based on the theoretical-methodological approaches of Conversation Analysis and Belonging Categories (SACKS, 1992). The central line of argument of the article consists of demonstrating how the accountability produced by the patient transforms (in the sense of renewing) the interactional context, by requesting an affiliation from the doctor and, thus, constructing the normality of the situation experienced by the patient. The sequential analysis highlights the social actions and interactional consequences that an unsolicited narrative can generate not only for the sequential context, but also for the reestablishment and reconstitution of normality and moral order, more broadly.
