Abstract During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, before vaccines became available, some hospitals were forced to quickly transition to using telephone calls for interactions with patients’ families. This shift included, among other changes, the delivery of death notification – a type of news that had previously been communicated exclusively in person. This talk reports on a research study that emerged within that scenario (Ostermann, Konrad, Goldim, in press). Drawing on a corpus of 528 calls recorded by the doctors themselves between 2020 and 2021 in a hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Brazil, the paper investigates how the communication of death to families of COVID-19 patients happens over the phone. We rely on Conversation Analysis (Sacks, Schegloff, Jefferson 1974; Sacks 1992) from an interactional history perspective (Beach, Dozier, Gutzmer 2018, Deppermann & Pekarek Doehler 2021; Wagner, Pekarek Doehler & González-Martínez 2018) to analyze how an action, sequential, and longitudinal analysis of naturally-occurring interactions can illuminate our understanding of the communication of death over the phone. While we find support for some of the claims made in the literature, the empirical, emic, and longitudinal interactional approach gives us new insights into the different shapes that the communication of death can take.
