Biography

Esther González Martínez est titulaire d'un doctorat en sociologie-sciences sociales par l'Université de Lausanne et l'Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales (2003, thèse en co-tutelle). De 2003 à 2006, elle a réalisé de la recherche postdoctorale dans plusieurs départements de sociologie aux Etats-Unis (Boston University, Cornell University, University of Wisconsin-Madison et University of California-Los Angeles). Depuis octobre 2006, elle est Professeure en sociologie à l'Université de Fribourg, avec également des engagements au niveau professoral dans d'autres universités et hautes écoles en Suisse.
Elle est spécialisée dans l'analyse d'interactions et pratiques sociales en milieux institutionnels. Au niveau méthodologique, ses recherches s'appuient sur des démarches ethnographiques et des enregistrements audio/vidéo de situations naturelles d'action. Elle favorise des approches interactionnistes et ethnométhodologiques ainsi que l'analyse multimodale et de conversation. Ses premières recherches ont porté sur le monde de l'art en particulier sur les visiteurs de musée et les carrières des chanteurs lyriques. Elle s'est ensuite tournée vers l'analyse d'interactions en milieu judiciaire notamment dans le cadre de procédures pénales d'urgence en France ainsi que d'interrogatoires de police et par des détectives privés aux Etats-Unis. Ces dernières années, elle a étudié des pratiques de travail en milieu hospitalier dont la communication téléphonique et les échanges en situation de mobilité des membres du personnel. Au travers de ces recherches, elle a examiné nombre de phénomènes interactionnels spécifiques dont la gestion du risque, la confiance, la multi-activité, les interactions de travail en situation de mobilité, la production de demandes et la cordialité. Elle a également développé son expertise en epistémologie et méthodologie de la recherche en sciences sociales.
Esther González Martínez mène ses activités de recherche dans le cadre du (GRIPS); voir site internet pour curriculum vitae et liste de publications.

    Requesting in hospital nurses' unscheduled interprofessional interactions
    Status: Completed

    Requesting consists of asking someone to do something, responding to the request and dealing with the response. Ubiquitous in everyday life, this interactional activity is closely related to the distribution of agency and responsibility, social cohesion and human sociality (Drew, Couper-Kuhlen, 2014; Enfield, 2013). Language and bodily conduct are crucial resources and are distinctly shaped when requesting compared to, for instance, begging or ordering. They take forms that index and contribute to the production of the legitimacy and grounds of the request, the degree of entitlement of the requester, the distribution of costs and benefits, and obligations to assist and rights to decide (Drew, Couper-Kuhlen, 2014). The projected research examines requesting in hospital nurses' unscheduled interprofessional interactions. Occurring on an as-needed basis, these interactions are crucial for teamwork coordination and provision of care (Burm, Boese, Faden et al., 2018), and are strongly oriented toward enlisting coworkers and getting them involved in action (Conn, Lingard, Reeves et al., 2009). In this context, requesting is entangled with issues of division of labor, professional boundaries, cooperation and solidarity (Allen, 2001) and the specificities of distributed teams achieving closely interrelated activities under the pressure of time and material constraints (Reddy, Dourish, Pratt, 2006). The projected research tackles two interrelated questions: 1) How is requesting in hospital nurses' unscheduled interprofessional interactions sequentially organized, on the spot and in real time? and 2) How is requesting connected to the social organization of nurses' interprofessional practice at the hospital? We specifically examine formal features of request sequences (position, components, formats, order) with regard to distribution of agency, professional identifies and relationships, and material constraints. Ultimately, we pursue the identification of distributional patterns of such features across participants, the objects of requests and the interactional environments in which they occur (Haakana, Laakso, Lindstr枚m, 2009; Sidnell, 2009). In terms of methods and data, conversation and multimodal analytic approaches are deployed for the collection and analysis of audio and video recordings, supplemented by ethnographic data, documenting requesting activities in several hospitals, involving nurses in contact with a wide variety of healthcare professionals. This 48-month project will lead to a dissertation by compilation of articles in Sociology at the 糖心Volg and several oral communications and publications at scientific and professional venues. It includes collaboration with the University of York (England). On a scientific level, the project contributes new knowledge about the organization of requesting in work interactions and the concrete practices of hospital personnel when communicating and working together, in a diversity of collaborative situations. On a practical level, it provides insight to further nurses' interprofessional training and practice in ways that take into account the potentialities and constraints of the hospital workplace.

    The interactional organization of police and soft accusation methods
    Status: Completed

    This research seeks to describe the interactional organization of two interrogation methods: police interrogation method and a soft accusation method developed and widely used by law enforcement and private security companies in the U.S. These method is a highly standardized technique of interrogation that is known as a 鈥渟oft accusation鈥� method, that is, one in which a direct accusation is avoided in the interrogation encounter in favor of other moves that indirectly implicate a subject in wrongful activity and lead to an admission of guilt. The research provides an analysis of how these interrogation methods are constructed as a particular sort of institutionally motivated speech exchange system. It focuses on how talk, in conjunction with the body (e.g., gesture, gaze, bodily position and movement) and the material surround, is used to perform social action in interaction with others. In this way, it provides insights into the real world, moment-by-moment unfolding of interaction鈥攊n other words, its dynamic and constructional nature. This research is based on analysis of audio and audiovisual recordings of actual interrogation encounters.

    La dimension institutionnelle des interactions au cours de la procedure penale de comparution imm茅diate

    La proc茅dure p茅nale fran莽aise de comparution imm茅diate - dite de "flagrant d茅lit" - est une proc茅dure d'urgence conduite directement par le procureur, qui permet de juger l'accus茅 g茅n茅ralement le lendemain de sa d茅tention. Sur la base d'un corpus d'enregistrements audiovisuels, cette recherche 茅tudie le d茅roulement concret de cette proc茅dure (dans la phase ant茅rieure au jugement), 脿 travers les interactions qui la jalonnent: les entretiens successifs du suspect avec l'enqu锚teur social, le procureur et l'avocat charg茅 d'assurer sa d茅fense. Elle examine les pratiques par lesquelles les acteurs - en s'appuyant sur une certaine organisation langagi猫re de l'茅change - se coordonnent, 茅laborent les relations intersubjectives qui les identifient et produisent les actions auxquelles leur rencontre est vou茅e. L'objectif sp茅cifique de l'enqu锚te est l'analyse de la dimension institutionnelle des 茅changes, afin de comprendre comment ceux-ci engendrent les structures d'action sociales qui les caract茅risent en tant que phases d'une proc茅dure p茅nale. Il est postul茅 une relation d'茅laboration r茅ciproque entre les interactions et le proc猫s p茅nal qu'elles fa莽onnent et par rapport auquel elles prennent forme.
