Abstract

This paper investigates the multimodal resources used by participants for doing being empathic. Extracts from three different settings are discussed: mother-child play, elementary school, and a public political debate . The sequences consist of a display of physical or emotional discomfort and a responsive comforting action . In terms of resources deployed, the bodily dimension is particularly stressed: In specific sequential positions, comforting is achieved by reducing physical distance, establishing close body positions, and bodily contact . Comforting is then ‘embodied’. Such sequences bring larger activities to a halt: When physical or emotional distress is brought up in interaction, the business of ‘treating the participant’s distress ’ seems to become ‘the main job’. Only when this job is jointly treated as accomplished can the overall social activity be pursued.
