On intersubjective co-construction of virtual space through multimodal means

a case of Japanese route-finding discourse

Kuniyoshi Kataoka

pp. 181-216

Abstract

Researchers' interest in, and their areas of analysis of, space differ according to disciplines, but largely in two major ways—"physical" vs "psychological." For instance, anthropological research on space has traditionally been concerned with kinesics, place names, symbolic use of space such as sacred or polluted places, social organization, dwelling and migration patterns, spatial mapping in language use, and habitus (a system of dispositions) (e.g., Lawrence & Low 1990; Hanks 1990; Haviland 1993, 2003; Feld & Basso 1996; Bourdieu 1977, 1990; Bennardo 2009). These agendas are mainly, though not exclusively, relevant to the "outer" environments surrounding the social actors.
