Abstract

The establishment of social distancing guidance during the first months of the Covid19 pandemic in the UK made behaviour in public spaces open to scrutiny, as observed in reports of lockdown (non)compliance in different types of media. This paper analyses a collection of 13 calls to BBC phone-ins where people publicly admit to breaking the lockdown. It offers an interactional analysis of the discursive practices with which callers account for their breach and build their moral personas while orienting to the accountability concerns that arise in their interaction with hosts, guest experts, and the participating audience on-air. Callers’ accounts were found to be extended objects combining different action components with which they present their licences to breach, list their harm-mitigating strategies, and construct their decisions as informed and common-sensical in the light of the moral dilemmas and disruption that the lockdown introduced to their ordinary lives.

“你做了什么?”在谈话电台上解释Covid-19封锁的漏洞
正如不同类型媒体对封锁(不遵守)的报道所观察到的那样,在英国新冠肺炎大流行的头几个月里,建立了社交距离指导,使公共场所的行为受到了审查。本文分析了英国广播公司的13个电话,其中人们公开承认打破了封锁。它提供了对话语实践的互动分析,呼叫者在与主持人、嘉宾专家和参与直播的观众互动中出现的问责问题时,可以解释他们的违约并建立他们的道德角色。我们发现,打电话的人的账户是一个扩展对象,结合了不同的行动组成部分,他们借此展示自己的违规许可,列出自己的减轻伤害策略,并根据封锁给他们的日常生活带来的道德困境和破坏,将自己的决定构建为知情和常识性的。
