Abstract

Abstract : This article explores how collaborative tidying up activities in a family are accomplished and negotiations take place among family members. Employing ethnomethodology and conversation analysis on collected video data, we focus on the directive/response sequence and the incumbency of the category of 'family', which engenders responsibilities for family members. We consequently elucidate how the children's responses reveal invalidation of the directive when they were not entitled to do so in terms of the responsibility and materiality of objects. We also explore how participants make the materiality of objects accountable through their verbal and embodied conduct in the tidying up activity.
