This paper is a response to the social anthropologist’s frustration of not being there. It is, to make further use of your own words, an attempt to deal with my own chronic disciplinary identity ...crisis. It is a response written in recognition of your situation and in recognition of the symptoms that you so eloquently describe.

World Policy Journal speaks with Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen, who criticizes an "industry of memory" that creates and bolsters a single version of history. Hollywood, the ...Vietnamese-American author says, is a "very powerful propaganda ministry" that seduces audiences to identify with the American perspective.
This article examines the making of arrangements for future joint activities as a "big package" of talk in interaction. Arrangement-making is here characterized as having a segmented structure, a ...series of sequences in which the details of time, place, and manner are addressed, often discretely, in sequences that are boundaried off from one another and variable in their ordering. The analysis also addresses the launching of the package and the varying ways it can emerge out of a prior remote proposal sequence or an already presumed activity, also, some of the contingencies impacting the body of the arrangement, and the sequential mechanisms through which segments and the overall package are closed. It is suggested that the segmented "sequence of sequences" structure may apply to the analysis of other big packages. Data are in English.
