Abstract | Abstract: This article explores how candidates discuss cultural topics that overlap with their sociocultural background during the Cambridge undergraduate admissions interviews, an academic gatekeeping encounter. On the one hand, discussion of this kind can be a source of epistemic authority for these candidates. On the other hand, such an affordance does not insulate them from the intercul- tural phenomena we see attested in other encounters, such as job interviews. Candidates may attempt to signal likeminded sociocultural values to their in- terviewers, typically by disassociating themselves from the stigmatic aspects of their sociocultural background. Less commonly, interviewers may also engage in foreignizing behaviour. Interactional data from three interviews are used to exemplify how the imbrication of interculturality and institutional power patterns out in different ways, and how this impacts the evaluative outcomes of the can- didates in question. 摘要: 本文探討考生如何在劍橋大學本科生入學面試這個學術把關環節(gatekeeping encounter) 中討論與自身社會文化背景相關的文化議題。一方面,相關討論可作考 生認知權威 (epistemic authority) 的來源。另一方面,此權威的可供性並不將考生與 在其他把關情節(如工作面試)中發生的跨文化現象隔離。考生可嘗試向面試官 表達志同道合的社會文化價值,如將自己從其文化背景被污名化的一面分離。在 不常見的情況下,面試官亦有可能參與異化 (foreignizing) 的行爲。本文將通過三 個面試中的互動數據舉例説明跨文化性 (interculturality) 和機構權力的重叠如 何以多種方式發生並影響考生的評核結果。 |
