Analysing Digital Interaction cover

This book investigates interaction-focused scholarship on online communication. It focuses on a broad range of online contexts including social media, dating apps, online comments, instant messaging and video-mediated interaction. Bringing together experts from a variety of scholarly backgrounds, chapters demonstrate how different microanalytic methods, including conversation analysis, membership categorization analysis and discursive psychology, can be applied to online communication. The book also goes on to address ethical, methodological and theoretical issues of analysing online social interaction. 
With the explosion of the use of online platforms for everyday and institutional interaction, this book is a timely collection which explores the current state of the field, and considers future directions for microanalysis of online communication. 

“Analysing Digital Interaction is an extremely timely contribution representing an important statement on how methods from CA, MCA, and DP can inform our understanding of the rapid social socio-technological that we are currently experiencing. … Flexible and sensitive analytic methods such as those discussed here are capable of rendering distinctive views of these interactional nuances and they are critical to help us understand these rapidly evolving forms of life.” (Will Gibson, Symbolic Interaction, March 14, 2023)
