Abstract

Touch provides a fundamental modality for how we as humans experience the co-present world – both individually and collectively with others – in interaction. In this chapter, we investigate how tactility – as one form of sensoriality – provides novice and senior field geologists a resource for building intelligible action in their situated work. Field geology is inherently multisensorial work, and practitioners make full use of their senses, beyond just sight, whether that is in identifying minerals and types of rock or describing the composition or coherence of different strata or bodies of rock in the landscape. We analyze 1) how interactants invoke touch in an interactionally meaningful manner in communicative practice in geological fieldwork and 2) how practitioners make action within that sensorial modality accessible and accountable to one another in interaction. The activity of geologists collaboratively deliberating over the touch and feel of various geological features provides a perspicuous setting for investigating tactility as public resource for building action. We expect touch, whether that be tactile or proprioceptive, to be made publicly accessible as geologists jointly reason about the nature of various objects in collaboration with one another.
