0092576Goodwin / ClementeThis project involves the dissertation research of a cultural anthropology student from the University of California Los Angeles. The project investigates how children growing up in a multicultural setting (Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain) use communication as a way to create, resist or contest new identities and social roles as cancer patients. Using methods of micro-ethnography, qualitative cross-sectional study of 20 children and longitudinal study of four children, the student will study the children's use of both verbal and non-verbal communication in three discursive practices, teasing, joking and concealing. The project will examine how children negotiate and transform their Catalan and Spanish identities and social roles imposed by parents and caregivers in the context of their life-in the cancer ward of a hospital. The project will advance our understanding of bilingualism as well as communication of emotion in this institutional setting, will bridge linguistic and medical methodologies by examining emotion, in particular pain not only as a subjective phenomenon/experience but also as an intersubjective experience emerging in interaction. Finally, the project contributes to the ethnography of children, who are relatively unstudied, advances our knowledge of this region of the world, and contributes to the training of a young social scientist.

0092576古德温/克莱门特这个项目涉及加州大学洛杉矶分校一名文化人类学专业学生的学位论文研究。该项目调查了在多元文化环境(巴塞罗那、加泰罗尼亚、西班牙)中长大的儿童如何将交流作为一种方式来创造、抵制或挑战癌症患者的新身份和社会角色。运用微观民族志研究方法，对20名儿童进行了定性的横断面研究，对4名儿童进行了纵向研究，研究了儿童在调侃、开玩笑和掩饰三种话语实践中使用言语交际和非言语交际的情况。该项目将考察儿童如何在他们的生活背景下--在医院的癌症病房--谈判和转变他们的加泰罗尼亚和西班牙身份以及父母和照顾者强加给他们的社会角色。该项目将促进我们对双语以及在这一机构背景下的情感交流的理解，将通过研究情感，特别是疼痛，不仅作为一种主观现象/经验，而且作为互动中出现的一种主体间经验，来研究语言和医学方法。最后，该项目有助于对相对未被研究的儿童进行人种学研究，促进我们对世界这一地区的了解，并有助于培养一名年轻的社会科学家。
