so I'm going off of internet research to hit some of my db's citations of hesitation below, the first describes hesitation in life, in relation to Latour and Tarde, where Tarde recognizes hesitation as somewhat different than an inferred position that Durkheim might take. The second is philosophy and discusses how hesistation can be an object of belief itself. The third discusses hesitation in theoretical works, as a position of theory. The fourth is very long, but discusses hesitation in relationship to dramatic discourse and what it means to pause and hesitate in drama. The 5th gives an example of how to code discourse and specifically code it for hesitation. The 6th discusses Keith Ansell Pearson's concept of the hesitation of things. and finally, some of the work of Boltanski and Thevenot describes how hesitation affects the outcomes of games. I tried to stick to people that actually conceptualized hesitation. I can't really do hedges very well because that is a popular name. Hedging though brings up all kinds of interesting material in relation to cognition, so that is where i'd look. 1: METAPHORS OF THE SOCIAL VIC SEIDLER 20/03/04 Paper delivered as part of the CSISP 'Embodied Psyches/Life Politics' seminar series, Monday 10th May 2004 2: Why-Questions SYLVAIN BROMBERGER Massachusetts Institute of Technology 3: The Theoretical Hesitation: Benjamin's Sociological Predecessor Fredric Jameson 4: Cultural awareness and language awareness based on dialogic interaction with texts in foreign language learning Written by: Anne-Brit Fenner, Department of Education, University of Bergen, Norway Marina Katnić-Bakaršić, Department of Slavonic Languages and Literatures, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina Mária Kostelníková Department of English Language and Literature, Faculty of Education, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovak Republic Hermine Penz, Department of English, University of Graz, Austria Council of Europe Publishing 5:EXPRESSIVE & EVOCATIVE FUNCTIONS AND OBLIGATIONS CODING MANUAL Jens AllwoodVersion 1.0January, 2000 6:Mind the Gap?
