Summary

Conversation analysis (CA) is an empirical approach to the study of social life that takes interaction in context as its primary focus. For CA, identity is something that people actively use, make reference to, and put to work, in order to bring about a social action or outcome. CA has been used in the study of gender identities, race, family roles, youth subgroups, and chatrooms, in mainstream media interaction, in studies of institutional exchanges such as in education, healthcare, advice and legal settings, and in sales environments, both online and face to face. To see what and how identities are achieved, CA explores sequences of embodied interaction, the primary source of data, carefully recorded and transcribed, so that we can identify patterns, including in how people bring off and attribute certain characteristics to their own and others’ membership of particular identity categories. In this chapter we provide a brief survey of the development of an ethnomethodological and conversation analytic approach to identity. We offer an example of a conversation-analytic procedure, looking at how kinship carers handle matters of family identity in a support group environment. We demonstrate how kinship carers interactively establish recognizable attributes and features of a common and valid identity in their complaints about the actions and dispositions of absent third parties. We end by considering how an ethnomethodological CA approach contributes to identity research, its limitations and its future directions.
