Ana Cristina Ostermann “Communities of Practice at Work…”
1. What is the aim of this study? What settings does it focus on? What data is analyzed?
2. What is “facework”? What are some of the interactional components of such facework?
3. Why is the claim that “female police officers would be ‘naturally’ better suited to deal with violence against women than their male counterparts, and that the general male-dominated environment of the regular police station was not conducive to women’s reports of violence against themselves” (p. 335) considered an essentialist assumption by Ostermann?
4. What of importance does Ostermann’s background information reveal regarding this Delegacia da Mulher (DDM) and CIV Mulher?
5. What are the differences found in the types of responses given to the victims by the actors in the two settings (DDM and CIV)?
6. Both continuers and silence may result in the other person’s continuation of talk. So how do they differ?
7. How is topic change used in the DDM exchanges?
8. How is silence said to be used in the CIV exchange?
9. How is topic change accomplished differently in the CIV exchange than in the DDM exchange?
10. Ostermann suggests that in general not paying attention to the ‘face’ of the person you’re interacting with can make you, yourself look bad. Why does she suggest that the DDM officers not do facework with the women they interview? Does Ostermann argue that the DDM officers generally are not able to do facework? Do they do solidarity with her? Why do they not ‘do solidarity’ or facework with the women they interview?
11. Why is the idea of ‘community of practice’ important for this study?
Lee “You know how tough I am”
1. What was the research question being investigated in this study?
2. Give examples of words that previous research had indicated were associated with feminine and masculine traits.
3. Regarding the biographies, what was found to be similar and what was found to differ across gender lines?
