Plenary
Personal Identity: A Multimodal Perspective
Scollon (1997) noted that every action is identity telling. Taking this notion as my foundation, this presentation addresses the questions:
Who are you?
&
How do others know?
Taking a multimodal (inter)action analytical point of view, this plenary unpacks the complexity of everyday personal identity production. Delving into theoretical notions
such as social-time-place, identity elements, scales of actions, or the site of
engagement, the presentation shows how we can analyse our own and others’ everyday
personal identity production. Using the theoretical concepts as my analytical tools,
I demonstrate how concrete micro-level actions are linked to meso-level practices and
macro-level societal discourses, all of which lead us to more or less agentively and more
or less non-agentively produce our personal identity.

In this hands-on workshop, you first learn to work with the various types of mediated
actions by examining a variety of YouTube clips. Then, you will work with your chosen
YouTube clip and learn to delineate one higher-level mediated action from another. Next,
working with a particular YouTube video and following Norris (2019), you will learn how to
produce a higher-level action table, how to bundle these higher-level actions, and how to
choose a data piece for micro analysis. By working hands-on with data and discussing our
work, we will uncover theoretical underpinnings of multimodal (inter)action analysis and
see where these theoretical notions lead us. In the last part of the workshop you will be
walked through transcription and deep analysis of one small data piece that we all have
been working with.
