The objective of this study is to investigate the discomfort created during an interview between two English teachers about the topic Discursive Genres. To achieve this purpose, we will analyze how the participating teacher and the researcher interacted during the conversation. The focus of the analysis is centered on the participants speech organization, changes of frame and alignment as well as discursive elements that indicate moments of discomfort. The theoretical architecture is based on studies developed by Erving Goffman and by the field of Interactional Sociolinguistics. The data was generated using a semistructured interview, based on the conception of interview as a discursive event, proposed by Elliot Mishler. Data analysis was based on studies in Ethnomethodological Conversational Analysis, which proposes a micro-analytical look at the discourse elements of the interaction. The research methodology, of a qualitative and interpretive nature, seeks to deepen the understanding about the (re)construction of moments of discomfort. Frequent stuttering occurrences, hesitations and accounts indicate moments of strong discomfort, insecurity and asymmetry between the participants. On the other hand, after the initial uncomfortable moment, there is a change in the teachers interactional posture, with situations of little discomfort discursively marked by concise sentences, disappearance of stuttering and hesitations and fewer accounts. Such considerations point to the importance of reflecting on how academic research may cause discomfort between participants, even when they are friends, thus suggesting the relevance of the research developed in this dissertation.
