Abstract

The article presents discursive interaction as an analytical framework for capturing agency in transitional justice (TJ). Embedded in the paradigm of Conversation Analysis, which foregrounds the interactive nature of communication, the framework sets out how the exercise of agency is facilitated or constrained at the micro level of talk in conversational sequences. The article shifts attention to the mechanics of interactions in TJ, which are demonstrated empirically with patterns of interactions in the Croatian Parliament. The reconceptualization of agency based on the systematic analysis of how speakers engage with each other advances emerging theories of interactive TJ both conceptually and methodologically.
