CONTINUOUS CONNECTION AND OPEN INTERACTION IN VIDEOCONFERENCING

Moments of dispersal at the end of meetings is an aspect of videophone interaction which is seldom studied. Yet it is important in relations between the structuring of interaction, organizational work in firms, and the functioning of technologies. The continuous connection characterizing Realmeet videophony is a determining factor in the interpretive trajectories of the post-closure phase in the sessions examined here. This article highlights the resources which participants need to cope interactionally with the dispersal of meeting and the reconstruction of distant spaces linked by the videophone device. It thus proposes a methodology, a research orientation and results for the general framework of research on videophone interaction.
