(2017): Theorizing animal–computer interaction as machinations. In: International Journal of Human-Computer Studies 98, S. 135-149. DOI: 10.1016/j.ijhcs.2016.05.005
Abstract: The increased involvement of animals in digital technology and user-computer research opens up for new possibilities and forms of interaction. It also suggests that the emerging field of Animal-Computer Interaction (ACI) needs to reconsider what should be counted as interaction. The most common already established forms of interaction are direct and dyadic, and limited to domesticated animals such as working dogs and pets. Drawing on an ethnography of the use of mobile proximity sensor cameras in ordinary wild boar hunting we emphasize a more complex, diffuse, and not directly observable form of interaction, which involves wild animals in a technological and naturalistic setting. Investigating human and boar activities related to the use of these cameras in the light of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and Goffman's notion of strategic interaction reveals a gamelike interaction that is prolonged, networked and heterogeneous, in which members of each species is opposed the other in a mutual assessment acted out through a set of strategies and counter-strategies. We stress the role of theory for the field of ACI and how conceptualizations of interaction can be used to excite the imagination and be generative for design. Seeing interaction as strategies and acknowledging the existence of complex interdependencies could potentially inspire the design of more indirect and non-dyadic interactions where a priori simplifications of design challenges as either human or animal can be avoided.

(2015): Using Ethnography of Communication in Organizational Research. In: Organizational Research Methods 18 (4), S. 629-655. DOI: 10.1177/1094428115590662
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/1094428115590662 Abstract: Ethnography of Communication offers new analytical and interpretive possibilities for contextually sensitized, language- and communication-based ethnographic studies of management and organization. In this article we provide an introduction and overview of relevant linguistic and related fields, positioning Ethnography of Communication within the broader context of anthropology, ethnomethodology, and sociolinguistics. We describe Dell Hymes’s seminal contribution to theory and method of Ethnography of Communication (foregrounding Hymes’s signature concept of 'communicative competence') and outline what the application of an Ethnography of Communication approach in management research might entail (illustrating the application of Hymes’s SPEAKING grid). We conclude by offering an example of how the methods of Ethnography of Communication might be applied usefully to the study of organizational language, discourse, and communication.

(2011): Die Zukunft der Cultural Studies. Theorie, Kultur und Gesellschaft im 21. Jahrhundert. Bielefeld: Transcript (Cultural studies)
Abstract: Die Zukunft der "Cultural Studies" wird erörtert. Dabei wird die Auffassung verdeutlicht, dass sich die Cultural Studies in der ersten Dekade des dritten Jahrtausends als eine umstrittene, aber gleichzeitig vielschichtige und die Komplexität des kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Lebens erhellende Formation zeigen. Die Vielfalt der theoretischen Paradigmen, intellektuellen Perspektiven und empirischen Zugänge verbindet ihre Verpflichtung zur kritischen Analyse der Gegenwart. Ausgehend von der zentralen Relevanz von Kultur in der sich herausbildenden globalen Gesellschaft werden in den Cultural Studies die Machtverhältnisse in unterschiedlichen Kontexten analysiert, Kontingenz und Relationalität gesellschaftlicher Praktiken werden aufgezeigt. Verhältnisse von Theorie, Kultur und Gesellschaft im 21. Jahrhundert werden kritisch analysiert. - Inhalt: (1) Rainer Winter: Einleitung: Cultural Studies - Jetzt und in der Zukunft.

(2010): Ethnomethodology and the moral accountability of interaction. Navigating the conceptual terrain of ‘face’ and face-work. In: Journal of Pragmatics 42 (8), S. 2147-2157. DOI: 10.1016/j.pragma.2009.12.019
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pragma.2009.12.019 Abstract: Ethnomethodology investigates the mundane, practical work of society's members’ sense-making practices and how they reproduce social–moral orders. It also reminds us that ‘face’ and face-work are overarching social science concepts which assist social scientists in doing their descriptive work. This paper outlines aspects of ethnomethodology's contribution to the study of ‘face’ and the doing of face-work in terms of an interactional accomplishment. While this occupied Goffman, he did not use detailed data of the kind this paper uses—that is, audio/video recordings and subsequent detailed transcriptions of members’ everyday naturally occurring interaction. The paper will reproduce one strip of interaction drawn from a wider ethnographic study of senior organizational members doing their strategy work across time and space. The analytical interest is focused on just two aspects: one is Garfinkel's notion of the moral accountability of action, and the second draws o n Sacks’ seminal work on membership categorization devices. The latter brings to our attention the predicates or ‘rights and obligations’ pertaining to categories. Moreover, when a breach is discerned on this front, then emotional displays are skillfully warranted as the excerpt indicates. Examining members interactional accomplishment of such phenomena as proposed here will be shown to add further empirical and theoretical texture/insight to Goffman's concept of face and face-work, or, as is proposed here, the moral accountability of interaction constituting social–moral order(s) or ‘society’.

(2009): Geschichte versus Genealogie. Warum die Debatte um sozialwissenschaftliche Reflexivitat die Ethnomethodologie vergass. In: Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung/Forum: Qualitative Social Research (Online Journal) 10 (3)
Abstract: This paper addresses the almost complete disappearance of ethnomethodological approaches from the reflexivity debate in social-scientific theory and methodology since the 1980s. This disappearance is remarkable because many of the tropes and questions characterizing the debate around reflexivity had already been articulated in ethnomethodology. The main reason for this neglect, it is argued, is the productive effect it had, as it helped later debates find answers to the epistemological challenge of postmodern approaches entering sociological discourse from the direction of anthropology and science and technology studies. Those answers could never have stabilized in the presence of the fundamental ethnomethodological presupposition that reflexivity is an ontological feature of social reality. The paper ends with a number of suggestions concerning a revision of reflexivity in the social sciences, highlighting the performative aspects of social meaning, especially social-scientific meaning. Es wird die Frage nach den Grunden fur das offensichtliche Vergessen ethnomethodologischer Diskussionen in der Debatte um Reflexivitat in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Theorie und Methodologie seit den 1980er Jahren gestellt. Dieses Vergessen ist deswegen erstaunlich, da in der Ethnomethodologie viele der spater aufkommenden Fragen bereits formuliert und diskutiert worden waren. Das Hauptargument lautet, dass dieses Vergessen einen epistemisch produktiven Effekt hatte, weil es spateren Diskursen ermoglichte, Antworten auf die epistemologische Herausforderung durch postmoderne Argumentationsfiguren zu finden, die hauptsachlich aus der Anthropologie Eingang in den sozialwissenschaftlichen Diskurs fanden. Ware die fundamentale ethnomethodologische Argumentationsfigur, dass Reflexivitat ein ontologisches Merkmal sozialer Realitat ist, berucksichtigt worden, hatten sich jene Antworten nicht stabilisieren konnen. Abschliessend werden Vorschlage zu einer Neubestimmung von Reflexivitat in den Sozialwissenschaften gemacht, die die performativen Aspekte sozialen Sinns - auch sozialwissenschaftlichen Sinns - berucksichtigt. zitiert von 2

(2008): Managing emotional expressions in social contexts. The motivations for emotional equilibrium in small-town Yucatan. In: Dissertation Abstracts International: Section B: The Sciences and Engineering 68 (10-B)
Abstract: Current academic research on Americans who consistently suppress their emotional expressions tends to provide empirical proof for the negative consequences of such actions. In particular, some researchers believe that suppression of emotional expressions leads to a decrease in well-being and proves to be less adaptive (for example, for interpersonal relations and long-term health) over time (Gross, 2003; Butler 2003 offers two examples). Yet this is a decidedly Western view of emotion regulation. This project used ethnographic observations, open-ended interviews, and questionnaires within a psychiatric hospital in Merida, Yucatan, and a rural community in Yucatan, Mexico, in order to explore the apparently protective ideology of emotional regulation in their cultural context-a cultural context that places an emphasis on preserving and cultivating familial relations and maintaining emotional equilibrium. This study had two stages. In stage one, the nonclinical stage, I asked: Why was it important for women to hide certain emotional expressions around family members? After analyzing the findings, I came to believe that culturally appropriate down-regulation of emotional expressions provided people with social benefits. In turn, these social benefits contributed to the personal well-being of the women. In stage two, the clinical stage, I sought to understand whether and, if so, how depressed women's emotion-regulation practices differed from those of nondepressed women. In addition, I attempted to ascertain whether the clinical participants' emotion-display rules had created barriers for their psychiatric treatment. In fact, I discovered that through their psychiatric treatment they were encouraged to emote in new ways. In treatment, they were exposed to a new set of emotion-display rules. The seemingly culturally sterile psychiatric clinic had actually imparted a reasonable amount of cultural influence on these women. The findings suggest that both groups prefer to regulate or deamplify (i.e., lessen) the expression of emotions. Participants from both groups mentioned three possible motivations for regulating emotional expressions. Preliminary analysis suggests that such behavior is culturally normative and encouraged, as personal decorum is highly valued and control over one's speech and behavior is lauded as a valuable character trait.
