Embodied Family Choreography documents the lived and embodied practices employed to establish, maintain, and negotiate intimate social relationships in the family, examining forms of control, care, and creativity. Making use of extensive video archives of family interaction in the US and Sweden, it presents the first investigation of how touch and interaction, in conjunction with talk, constitute a primary means of orchestrating activities, revealing the important role touch plays in the context of contemporary Western middle class family life and shedding light on the ways in which the visual, aural, and haptic senses (usually analysed separately) mutually elaborate one another.
