Fala-em-interação mediada por vídeo

desafios na transcrição de gestos faciais

Abstract

The pandemic has restricted face-to-face interactions while accelerating the globalization of communication through video calls. This has facilitated the widespread conduct of activities such as collaborative work, scientific conferences, online teaching, medical consultations, religious rites, and family gatherings. These practices have not only promoted the expansion of local boundaries but have also connected the world on a global scale, enhancing intercultural encounters increasingly characterized by multilingual conversations. In this new configuration, “talking heads” are assuming central importance. This paper presents and compares two methodological models for transcribing facial gestures in video-mediated interactions, as proposed by Brunner and Diemer (2021) and Dix (2022). Using a multimodal conversation analysis approach, we apply these models to a video-mediated interaction (VMI). We will demonstrate the need to develop methodologies that capture the multimodal complexity of facial gestures in these interactions, highlighting how these systems can contribute to both quantitative and qualitative research methods that integrate linguistic and gestural dimensions. Additionally, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems and propose enhancements.
