Abstract
Such a mobility turn in video communication enables participants to show something to their interlocutor. Thirty per cent of mobile video conversations seem to unfold around the intent of one of the participants to show something to the other (O’Hara, Black, & Lipson, 2006), which is probably an underestimate because showing also occurs in video calls that do not have that as an initial goal. From what we observed in the Skype part of our own corpus, the numbers should be much in the same range also for Skype interactions. With the possibility of video communication technologies being able to show something during a call, these at last seem to fulfill their early and heretofore unkept promise that they would allow remote conversationalists to share their environments (Relieu, 2007). A related line of research has looked at “video-as-data,” that is, how some part of the ongoing activity could be recorded and made available in real time to provide a shared field of interaction in collaborative situations (Nardi, Kuchinsky, Whittaker, Leichner, & Schwarz, 1996; Whittaker, 2003). In such a configuration, the participants work to articulate video and speech occurrences in a way that is relevant to the unfolding interaction (Mondada, 2007). We will try to show that such an articulation, from which there is no timeout, is also crucial in mobile and Skype video calls.
