| Research Abstract |
The original purpose of this study was to elucidate the embodied foundations for learning interactional practices in technological environments. One month before approval of the research proposal came out, the Great East Japan Earthquake and the nuclear power plant explosion occurred. Many individuals and families evacuated the affected areas. This study focused on a particular form of volunteering (i.e., footbath volunteering) at emergency shelters and temporary housing sites and investigated various organizational aspects of interaction between evacuees and volunteers. These aspects included the basic interactional structure, volunteers' responding practices, and evacuees' topic-initiation practices. This interaction is distinctive because many volunteers were novices and both participants were unacquainted with each other, although their interactions involved bodily contact. This study elucidated the structural foundations of interaction in this particular form of volunteering.
