Abstract
This ethnographic study investigates the dynamics of children's interactions during foosball matches at Vila do Boa school in Brazil's Federal District. Over the span of a year, participant observations and video recordings were conducted during school breaks. This paper focuses on a specific frame, “two against one”, featuring five children engaged in an intense foosball match. Using detailed transcriptions informed by conversation analysis, the Ethnography reveals the nuanced ways in which children navigate disputes and adapt rules, particularly when confronted with a significantly more skilled player. The analysis underscores the development of a unique lexicon among the children, highlighting how their language and interactions are integral to the game's dynamics and their broader socialization processes.
本人种学研究调查了巴西联邦区 Vila do Boa 学校的儿童在桌上足球比赛中的互动动态。在一年的时间里,我们利用课余时间对参与者进行了观察和录像。本文重点讨论了 "二打一 "这一特定场景,其中五名儿童参与了激烈的桌上足球比赛。通过详细的转录和对话分析,本民族志揭示了儿童处理争端和调整规则的微妙方式,尤其是在面对球技高超的球员时。分析强调了孩子们之间独特词汇的发展,突出了他们的语言和互动是如何与游戏的动态和更广泛的社会化过程密不可分的。
