Dossier on Archives, Memory and Health (v. 17, n. 2) April/June 2023

2022-11-24

Archives are institutions that express power relationships. Silence, forgetting, erasure and invisibility are not neutral elements in the construction of their sources and fonds; nor are the ways in which these elements remind us of and make visible certain individuals, social groups, institutions and historical events neutral. Through them we can become aware of issues such as the negotiation between remembering and forgetting, the right to use private data and the right to privacy, and the fight for recognition and the prevalence of power and interest dynamics. At a time when minority voices are silenced—often forcefully or violently—the importance of the processes to archive their experiences as historical actors and the role of archival institutions must be emphasized.

The idea of archives as collective memory is sometimes employed as a metaphor when discussing the social and cultural role of archives. Some argue that the idea is more than just a metaphor. The concept is supported by theories that view collections of material artefact documents as a means to extend the temporal and spatial reach of communication. Archives, together with other communicational resources such as orality, tradition and rituals, aid the circulation of information — and thus sustain memory — on the past and project memory into the future.

This dossier seeks to critically analyze the policies, processes and practices of archival activities related to documents on health. This also includes possibilities regarding the analysis and discussion of the transformations in healthcare institution archives in the context of contemporary digital culture.

In summary, the dossier seeks to cover the following themes in an interdisciplinary way, with emphasis on the fields of Communication, Information Science, History and Collective Healthcare:

Archival theories, policies and practices in relation to health phenomena;
Archives and archival practices in science and healthcare institutions;
Uses of public, private and personal archives in research involving communication, information and health;
Methods for organizing, providing access to and disseminating the information in archives and collections of documents that make up the heritage of the disciplines of science and healthcare;
Comparisons between national policies regarding organization, preservation and access to archives;
The dynamics of memory and forgetting in work processes at archives;
Archives, memory and information management;
Archives and the forms of remembering/forgetting, visibility/invisibility of minority social groups identified based on race, gender, sexual orientation, class, diseases, etc.;
Digital culture and archival processes;
Personal data, privacy and the production of archives as a marketing practice in healthcare;
Archives, subjectivity, memory and healthcare.

Dossier Care-in-interaction: practices, knowledge, and reflexivity in health (v. 18, n. 2) Apr./Jun. 2024.

October 27, 2023

A concept inseparable from communication, interaction is a constitutive part of the communicative act. While broad and guided by different approaches, human communication interactional studies have the common analytical challenge of observing the joint construction of utterances and their actional values in the microecological environment in which they occur, which implies looking emically, that is, starting from within, and considering the reflective processes of the people participating in that human communication interaction (Rodrigues, 2021).

This dossier, whose title mobilizes the care-in-interaction concept, addresses health care from an interactionist perspective (Ostermann; Meneghel, 2012), with particular interest in research with a multimodal focus to articulate, in a finely detailed descriptive work, speech and body studies (Mondada, 2018).

The expression care-in-interaction is generated by a common matrix in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis (EMCA) (Loder; Jung, 2008), an investigative current originating from North American sociology, derived from Harold Garfinkel’s Ethnomethodology, which has been embraced globally in multiple disciplinary fields (Watson; Gastaldo, 2015), and which has brought speech-and-the-body-in-interaction as an object of study in the last ten years.

Analyses are data driven and can mobilize and articulate other theoretical currents, which focus on multiple objects and events, namely, polyphony and Bakhtinian dialogism, the Austinian analysis of speech acts, the Goffmanian face work and politeness, contextualization prosodic cues, and justifications and the theory of argumentation in language.

From the perspective of ethnomethodological and conversation analysis, care-in-interaction studies open up a range of investigations into interactions in different environments using several resources. As Harvey Sacks points out in his classical study of telephone conversations recorded by a suicide prevention center in the United States of America and, therefore, mediated by a technological device for distance communication, research whose collected material does not include all multimodal resources available in face-to-face interactions bring about challenges that reinforce the great analytical potential of looking inward, considering the natural and artificial devices of mediation to the world.

Two initial questions instigated this dossier: a) How is interactivity being operated in different environments and settings, especially regarding health topics? b) In what ways can microanalytical approaches to studies on interactions contribute to understanding social processes?

We encourage contributions from authors from different social, human, and health sciences fields – with particular emphasis on communication studies, language, anthropology, social work, and sociology – for thematic sub-axes such as:

Epistemic asymmetries, situated cognition, intercomprehension, and emotions-in-interaction;
Microanalytical studies of conversational frameworks of social and health intervention;
Telepresence interactions, mediated by multimodal computers (microphone, speaker, webcam, and screen);
Interactional frameworks of joint research and self-confrontation practices in the training of health and social professionals;
Participation of citizens in devices for joint analysis of service and care practices (citizen science);
Atypical interactions in their interdisciplinary dimensions of social studies of disability.
