Abstract

This paper explores the intersection between institutional identity and recruitment practices in craft workshops. It argues that students orient to both their own identity as students in need and to the instructor's institutional identity as assistance-provider as a key resource for obtaining assistance. The analysis is organised into three main analytic sections: instructors self-selecting to assist without being explicitly addressed, students selecting instructors as providers of assistance, and students pursuing assistance when an initial attempt is not immediately successful. Across these practices, students rely on the instructor's category-bound activity of providing assistance and their own identity as students. Through the analysis of a corpus of video recordings from a range of craft workshops, this study demonstrates how institutional identity and the category-bound activity of providing assistance are procedurally consequential in recruitment, highlighting the omnirelevance of the identity of the instructor in workshops. The data are in English.

学生如何获得帮助：学校身份作为一种招生资源

本文探讨了机构认同与工艺作坊招聘实践之间的交集。该研究认为，学生既倾向于自己作为有需要的学生的身份，也倾向于教师作为援助提供者的机构身份，作为获得援助的关键资源。分析被组织成三个主要的分析部分：教师在没有明确说明的情况下自行选择帮助，学生选择教师作为帮助的提供者，学生在最初的尝试没有立即成功时寻求帮助。在这些实践中，学生依赖于教师提供帮助的类别限定活动和他们自己作为学生的身份。通过对一系列工艺工作坊的录像资料的分析，本研究展示了机构身份和提供援助的类别限定活动如何在招聘过程中产生程序上的影响，突出了工作坊中讲师身份的全局性。数据是英文的。

期刊介绍： Since 1977, the Journal of Pragmatics has provided a forum for bringing together a wide range of research in pragmatics, including cognitive pragmatics, corpus pragmatics, experimental pragmatics, historical pragmatics, interpersonal pragmatics, multimodal pragmatics, sociopragmatics, theoretical pragmatics and related fields. Our aim is to publish innovative pragmatic scholarship from all perspectives, which contributes to theories of how speakers produce and interpret language in different contexts drawing on attested data from a wide range of languages/cultures in different parts of the world. The Journal of Pragmatics also encourages work that uses attested language data to explore the relationship between pragmatics and neighbouring research areas such as semantics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis and ethnomethodology, interactional linguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, media studies, psychology, sociology, and the philosophy of language. Alongside full-length articles, discussion notes and book reviews, the journal welcomes proposals for high quality special issues in all areas of pragmatics which make a significant contribution to a topical or developing area at the cutting-edge of research.
