Abstract
This article focuses on a particular type of object-centered sequence in video-me- diated conversations, in which one participant shows a co-participant some object or feature of her environment. First, we study the way and sequential position in which showings are initiated as recognizable sequences: in a position in which a new topic is relevant, as an occasioned side sequence, or as a "touched off" show- ing, following talk about a potential "viewable". Second we show how showings are initiated with distinctive prefaces which do different types of work: a) they offer a sequential slot for the recipient to align with or disalign from the projected course of action; b) they suspend the form of looking which is relevant to 'talking heads' talk, and enact and make relevant a distinctive way of looking at and seeing a given showable, which is assembled for the purposes of this particular occasion; c) they make further talk conditional to the viewing of the object, thus opening a slot for the manipulating the latter into a 'show position'; and d) they frame the showable as an object "for us" to see together, so that showing sequences can be described as a kind of relational bid: if the participants display that they jointly "see" the showable in an adequate way, this vindicates the kind of relational "us" which made relevant the showing in the first place.
