Abstract

This paper investigates the multimodal resources used by participants for doing being empathic. Extracts from three different settings are discussed: mother-child play, elementary school, and a public political debate. The sequences consist of a display of physical or emotional discomfort and a responsive comforting action. In terms of resources deployed, the bodily dimension is particularly stressed: In specific sequential positions, comforting is achieved by reducing physical distance, establishing close body positions, and bodily contact. Comforting is then ‘embodied’. Such sequences bring larger activities to a halt: When physical or emotional distress is brought up in interaction, the business of ‘treating the participant’s distress’ seems to become ‘the main job’. Only when this job is jointly treated as accomplished can the overall social activity be pursued.
