Abstract
Looking for shame when it is not uttered motivated an analysis that incorporated conversation analysis with discourse analysis to produce an ‘ethnomethodologically inclined discourse analysis’ (eda). Interviews with UK Black and Black-white ‘mixed race’ women were transcribed using a conversation analytic transcription to capture the intensification of shame within talk surrounded by speech disturbances such as in-breaths, out-breaths, pauses and loudness, to show Black beauty shame’s silence/silencing and speakers’ agency in talk-in-interaction.

Interestingly, contradiction is a part of a discourse analytic approach to looking at texts (Parker 1999).
