Abstract
Drawing on literature on the body and embodiment, body pedagogics, and conversation analysis, this article adopts an integrative approach to the body and seeks to demonstrate the process through which bodily experiences are interpreted and transmitted across individuals, time, and space in the case of 911 emergency communication. With data from three years’ fieldwork in an urban 911 center in the US, the author shows how this process is accomplished in two key steps—foregrounding and visualization—and how this process is patterned by the organizational context of emergency communication.
