Abstract
The candidate enters a room and meets the examiners. They ask questions, and the candidate attempts to answer. The candidate leaves the room and waits to be called in again when the examiners have reached their decision. In some versions of this narrative the candidate receives the result later electronically or by post. The viva is premised upon talk and the question posed in this chapter from a theoretical and methodological perspective is simply: How is the viva talked into being?
