Abstract
Engagement is a substratum of social encounters. It involves the orientation by the interaction participants to each other physically and through perception, their collaboration in joint actions, and their sharing of the local moral order of the encounter. Goffman's early work pointed out a paradox of engagement: Engagement on one hand is a moral obligation for the interaction participants, but on the other, engagement is always shadowed by tendencies towards disengagement through withdrawal and side involvements. In my presentation, I will show how a young patient in psychiatric evaluation interviews oscillates between engagement and disengagement in her interactions with the clinicians interviewing her. I will also show how patients in couple therapy disengage posturally and through bodily side involvements during the talk where their spouses complain about them. I will suggest that it is analytically worthwhile to consider (dis)engagement as a multimodal Gestalt, where action, bodily participation and sharing of the moral order go together and index each other.
