Some visually impaired people/persons (VIP) use guide dogs to help them navigate when walking outdoors, e.g. when shopping, visiting friends or going to work. In this article, I show how a VIP and his dog function as an interspecies assemblage, in which they co-operate to accomplish navigating and avoiding obstacles. Based on ethnomethodological multimodal conversation analysis and video ethnographic methodology, the article introduces the concepts of interspecies intercorporeality, which relates to bodily connection, and mediated haptic sociality to describe the transferral of sensory feedback through the dog harness, and thereby shows how the VIP and the dog co-operate in situ. The article contributes to visual studies by highlighting how senses other than the visual are made relevant for accomplishing simple navigational tasks, and how perception of the world is achieved through a distribution of perception-related actions.

一些视障人士/人士 (VIP) 在户外行走时使用导盲犬帮助他们导航，例如在购物、拜访朋友或上班时。在这篇文章中，我展示了 VIP 和他的狗如何作为跨物种组合发挥作用，它们在其中合作完成导航和避开障碍物。本文基于民族方法学多模态对话分析和视频民族志方法，引入了与身体联系相关的种间身体间性概念，以及通过狗背带描述感官反馈传递的中介触觉社会性的概念，从而展示了 VIP 和狗在原地合作。这篇文章通过强调视觉以外的感官如何与完成简单的导航任务相关，为视觉研究做出了贡献，
