Abstract

Naoki Ueno explored the essentially “situated,” or interactional, nature of learning, focusing on various naturally occurring settings outside of classrooms. Through a conversation analytic examination of two examples of interaction in which the body is used for demonstration, I demonstrate that specific instructional actions are also essentially interactional accomplishments. In demonstrating the correct body movement, one participant’s body becomes perceptually restructured as analogous to another’s. The restructuring of the body contingently emerges from and renews the current interactional configurations. I also argue that seeing a demonstration is not a purely optical achievement; it is a multisensory achievement.
