Between conversation and situation: public switching dynamics across network domains.

Part of a special issue on the theme of conversation. The writers examine network “switching” and linguistic change by investigating how publics enable movement to be made among the multiple sets of overlapping relations and associated discursive patternings that comprise the web of social life.

      ab: Part of a special issue on the theme of conversation. The writers examine network “switching” and linguistic change by investigating how publics enable movement to be made among the multiple sets of overlapping relations and associated discursive patternings that comprise the web of social life. They consider the phenomenology of situations as specific types of social interactions that can be distinguished from conversations as well as other kinds of discursive interplay. They then investigate the relationship of both of these constructs to the concepts of publics, network domains, and “Bayesian forks.” This facilitates the development of a schematization of the various types of switching dynamics, as actors move across network domains and through publics over time. They conclude by discussing the challenges raised by these conceptualizations to further empirical and theoretical work.
