This collection sketches the use of the term rapport within the fields of anthropology, sociology, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and linguistic anthropology. Rather than leave the term uncritiqued or simply conceptualized as a type of positive social relationship that needs to be formed between researcher and consultant before research can begin, the book invites us to: (1) think about how rapport has been constructed within a number of these disciplines, (2) see rapport as an emergent co-constructed social relationship that is built during situated multimodal encounters, and (3) see the interpretation of such social relationships as requiring a reflexive approach that historicizes semiotic resources and social relations. In reimagining rapport, readers are invited to reflect on the idea of rapport as theory, meta-methodology, and methodology.
