Hi I have looked at conflict and its resolution in the context of a private women-only mailing list. This is covered in Chapter 4 of my book. Reference as follows: Bury, R. (2005) Cyberspaces of their own: Female fandoms online. New York: Peter Lang Hope this is helpful Rhiannon Rhiannon Bury Assistant Professor and Interim Director Women's Studies University of Waterloo rbury@uwaterloo.ca Jennifer Stromer-Galley wrote:
I, too, am quite interested in this topic. I have not encountered much on the topic of online disputes in chat rooms. Most of the work I've seen focuses on dyadic interaction in conversation analysis.
I'm currently working on a manuscript analyzing disagreement in online spaces (although not open chat rooms at the moment - but that's where I started). I presented a paper a few moons ago at AoIR on a failed attempt to try to analyze aspects of online, political chat, including disagreement. If that's of interest, I can see if I can dig it up. I had used Searle's Speech Act theory as a basis for developing a content analytic scheme (the counting sort), and found it quite unsatisfying. I've since tabled that puzzle, but I would quite like to hear more about what you're doing.
I'd also be eager to hear if others are looking at conflict online and what they're finding.

Hi all, I'm writing my phD thesis on chat-room conflicts and I would be very pleased if you could guide me to some articles written about this subject. I'm a linguist and I will use conversation analysis and discourse analysis but I'm also interested in socio linguistic and socio psychological approach to the subject. I'm familiar with all classic books and articles but it has been hard to find any good texts on social+verbal conflicts on the net. Does someone know for example this: "Online Dispute Resolution: Resolving Conflicts in Cyberspace"? I would also like to point out that my aim is to study naturally occurring verbal conflicts/disputes in stead of flaming (which, of course, will be discussed in my work).
Thank you in advance!
