This article, published in the Annual Review of Anthropology, may be of interest to cultural sociologists doing interviews: Interviewing: Practice, Ideology, Genre, and Intertextuality by Michèle Koven. This review applies a critical linguistic anthropological perspective to classic and current scholarly literature on interviewing, understood as a cluster of communicative practices used to produce and circulate various types of authoritative and consequential knowledge about groups and individuals. I begin by treating interviews as multifunctional, ideologically mediated communicative events. I then discuss the multiplicity, indeterminacy, and intertextuality in peoples practices and understandings of interviewing as a communicative genre. Interviews are fundamentally intertextual, as they resemble, co-occur with, precede, and follow other communicative events. annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-anthro-092412-155533
