 abstract = {During fieldwork in a rehabilitation institution for drug abusers, I 1                became aware that certain, apparently commonplace, informal interaction situations                between residents and staff appeared to constitute emotionally moving and                identity-constructing situations which apparently had a great impact on the                residents. These situations seem, on the surface, to be trivial, minor, superficial                and very common. Still, and perhaps because of their 'smallness , they show                qualities that suggest authentic interaction, immediate and unfeigned, by                participants. This article draws upon an analysis of what I have called                'love-bearing interaction situations (Skatvedt, 2001) and connects this with                theoretical insights drawn from the work of Erving Goffman and Johan Asplund, and                from Howard Becker s labelling theory.2 Of particular interest is a                notion touched upon by Goffman, namely, the expression of love in commonplace                interaction.},
