In this paper, I examine self-categorization practices as resources for the interactional organization of relative experiential entitlements. Locating the study in talk about child death, an explicitly moral domain of social life, this study utilizes 18 radio-based interactions from a South African talk-radio broadcaster. Using an ethnomethodological, conversation-analytic approach, I examine affective responses to reports of child deaths, demonstrating how these practices reproduce child death as a contemporary social and moral concern. My findings demonstrate how practices of, and variations in, self-reference and self-categorization are resources for managing relative rights and obligations, thereby reproducing common-sense knowledge about parents and children in contemporary South African society. This research contributes to advancing knowledge in the fields of membership categorization analysis and the social organization of experience.

自我分类：在谈论儿童死亡时管理经验权利的资源

在本文中，我将自我分类实践作为相关经验权利的交互组织的资源进行检验。将这项研究定位于关于儿童死亡的讨论，这是社会生活中一个明确的道德领域，这项研究利用了来自南非谈话广播公司的 18 次基于无线电的互动。使用民族方法学、对话分析方法，我检查了对儿童死亡报告的情感反应，展示了这些做法如何将儿童死亡重现为当代社会和道德问题。我的研究结果表明，自我参照和自我分类的实践和变化如何成为管理相对权利和义务的资源，从而在当代南非社会再现关于父母和孩子的常识性知识。
