    As an introduction to the special issue on Conversation Analysis (henceforth CA), it will be examined how this approach has brought about a significant turn in theory and research in general and social Psychology. Referring to the specific articles of the issue, the main fields which CA has contributed to evolve will be reviewed, such as situated cognition, analysis of specific activity systems, narrative psychology, account studies, common sense, folk psychology, linguistic socialization, emotions. The return of a phenomenological perspective in psychology will also be discussed

    Talking down pain in the prosthesis clinic: the emergence of a local preference

    Understanding and evaluating pain is a growing concern in clinical practice and health care. In this paper we examine how pain is talked about in 24 video-recorded visits of a team of medical professionals with post-surgery amputees. We identify a paradox: although it is medically useful to identify post-amputation pain (it can indicate problematic healing, and deter application of a prosthesis) we found that there was a joint preference, by both patients and professionals, to minimise pain sensations. We show how both parties draw on turn design, sequential organisation and multimodal resources to acknowledge some kinds of unpleasant sensations while excluding types of pain that would be problematic in view of the prosthesis. We discuss the importance of the findings in terms of furthering the understanding of situated expression and reporting of pain, the emergence of local preferences in clinical settings and preference organisation in general.

    Il testo analizza le modalità conversazionali e discorsive tramite le quali i testimoni mitigano la loro agentività in relazione ad azioni problematiche. La mitigazione della loro agentività, tramite la ricostruzione del loro ruolo come passivo o tramite la mitigazione della loro responsabilità nel compimento di una determinata azione, permette ai testimoni di mitigare l'allocazione della colpa nei loro con fronti. Il testo analizza degli esempi tratti da controesami di testimoni durante il dibattimento in aula
