focused interaction

focused interaction
A concept applied to the co-ordinating of face-to-face interaction by two or more actors. The contrast is with unfocused interaction, which is communication by gestures and signals that arises simply through actors being co-present, as in the case for example of body language . The distinction is used by Erving Goffman , in his description of the framing of interaction, and Anthony Giddens builds the idea into his structuration theory.
