The present study addresses the mixing of different genres, discourses and author identities in two autobiographically oriented documentaries. Based on the theory of communicative genres, the genres of (social) documentary, video diary and home movie are characterized. Then the relations between the elements of social documentary and video diary in the films Český žurnál: Exekuce (Czech Journal: Don’t Take My Life) and Epidemie svobody (Epidemic of Freedom) are analyzed. On the level of the internal structure of both films, two different thematically defined discourses are identified, realized through verbal and visual semiotic modes: autobiographical and social discourse. The analysis reveals that in Exekuce, social discourse prevails and elements of both discourses are mostly juxtaposed (discontinuous mixing), while in Epidemie svobody, characterized by the predominance of the autobiographical component, the two discourses are more interconnected (continuous mixing). Elements of social discourse can mostly be attributed to the genre of social documentary in both films, while the autobiographical discourse does not fully correspond to the genre of the video diary: these records of the authors’ lives have a hybrid character, thus representing a kind of “documentary diary”.

This text provides a critical analysis and assessment of Charles Goodwin’s theory of co-operative action. First, it characterizes Goodwin’s distinctive research style, analyzing his specific way of presenting research findings, as well as drawing on memoir and biographical texts and published interviews. This distinction lies in: a) a strong emphasis on the collection and analysis of empirical data, b) the use of video data, c) the original presentation of data and analysis in collages/assemblages of transcripts, images and analytical commentary, d) a holistic, integrative and interdisciplinary approach to the research object, e) the inclusion of ethnographic knowledge in the analysis, and f) an axiomatic style of thinking. Then the text introduces the conceptual architecture of the theory of co-operative action and discusses the contributions of this theory to the field of (linguistic) anthropology, particularly to questions about the origins of language, the historical diversification of languages and cultures, the situated nature of communication, the distribution of knowledge, and the formation of competent members of cultural communities. It concludes that Goodwin’s theoretical insights have the potential to shape the future of not only linguistic anthropology, but also interactionally-oriented linguistics.
