Thereby, in contrast to certain versions of Durkheim that teach that the objective reality of social facts is sociology's fundamental prin­ ciple, the lesson is taken instead, and used as a study policy, that the objective reality of social facts as an ongoing accomplishment of the concerted activities of daily life, with the ordinary, artful ways of that accomplishment being by members known, used, and taken for granted, is, for members doing sociology, a fundamental phenomenon. Because, and in the ways it is practical sociology's fundamental phenomenon, it is the prevailing topic for ethno­ methodological study. Ethnomethodological studies analyze every­ day activities as members' methods for making those· same activities visibly-rational-and-reportable-for-all-practical-purposes, i.e., "ac­ countable," as organizations of commonplace everyday activities. The reflexivity of that phenomenon is a singular feature of practical actions, of practical circumstances, of common sense knowledge of social structures, and of practical sociological reasoning. By permit­ ting us to. locate and examine their occurrence the reflexivity of that phenomenon establishes their study.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines how inmates "do time" by making temporal phenomena available through conversation. The study combines techniques of ethnomethodology and ethnography to analyse time-talk occurring in the natural language of prison inmates. The thesis argues that (a) an analysis of doing time is informative of the temporal dimensions of everyday life in the prison and (b) ethnomethodology would benefit from being attentive to time.

  • Ethnomethodology and Literacy Research: a Methodological “Road Less Travelled”
    English Teaching: Practice and Critique May, 2012, Volume 11, Number 1 http://education.waikato.ac.nz/research/files/etpc/files/2012v11n1art2.pdf pp. 26-42 Ethnomethodology and literacy research: A methodological “road less travelled” CHRISTINA DAVIDSON Charles Sturt University, Australia ABSTRACT: This article examines ethnomethodology in order to consider its particular yet under-used perspective within literacy research. Initially, the article outlines ethnomethodology, including its theoretical position and central concepts such as indexicality and reflexivity. Then, selected studies are used to illustrate the application of the methodology and related research methods to the examination of literacy and literacy instruction. This section delineates a number of constraints on the application of the methodology. These include respecification of topic as practical accomplishment, bracketing by researchers of a priori interests and background information to produce unmotivated looking, and meticulous analytic attention to locally produced social phenomenon often only made visible in fine details of transcripts. Ethnomethodology’s contribution is discussed then in light of criticisms concerning the overly restricted nature of the methodology, or some versions of it. It is concluded that despite ongoing critique, the application of ethnomethodology to literacy research may: reveal taken-for-granted ways literacy lessons are accomplished, lead to the description and explication of social actions that constitute literacy instruction, and enhance existing theoretical models of literacy learning and teaching. KEY WORDS: Ethnomethodology; conversation analysis; social interaction; literacy; English. INTRODUCTION Ethnomethodology is a research methodology that originated in American sociology during the 1950s. Harold Garfinkel first developed the approach which was considered controversial at the time because of its critique of the use of theory and quantitative methods of analysis in mainstream sociology (Hester & Francis, 2000).

  • Acknowledgments
    Acknowledgments Although I wrote this book, I cannot take full credit (or, for that matter, blame) for its contents. The book explores the possibility of developing what I am calling a postanalytic approach to the study of scientific practices. As should be obvious throughout, this orientation is strongly influenced (per­ haps infected) by Harold Garfinkel’s ethnomethodological approach to situated practical action and practical reasoning. For the past twenty years, I have had the benefit of reading numerous unpublished drafts of GarfinkeFs writings and attending many lectures and seminars in which he and his students discussed and demonstrated novel ways to investigate the produc­ tion of social order. The specific references I have made in this book to published and unpublished writings can cover only a small part of what I learned from Garfinkel, his colleagues, and his students, including Eric Livingston, Albert (Britt) Robillard, George Girton, Ken Morrison, Ken Liberman, Richard Fauman, Doug Macbeth, Melinda Baccus, and Stacy Burns. My initial efforts to understand ethnomethodology were aided im­ measurably by close friends and colleagues, including David Weinstein, Alene Terasaki, Bill Bryant, and Nancy Fuller, with whom I shared a preoccu­ pation with the question “What in the world was Harold talking about?” Garfinkel also read an earlier draft of this book and gave me specific and helpful comments on it. My understanding of different approaches to ethnomethodology and con­ versation analysis also relied on what I learned from seminars, informal data fessions, and discussions with Melvin Pollner, Gail Jefferson, Emanuel Schegloff, Anita Pomerantz, and Harvey Sacks. Although I am critical of some of their work in this volume, I hope this will not obscure my apprecia­ tion of their achievements.

  • Reading Goffman “Forward”
    8 Reading Goffman “Forward” n Chapter 2, we conducted a so-called “backward” readingdistribute of Goffman I and attempted to outline the origins of his microsociological thinking in variety of intellectual perspectives and theoreticalor traditions. In this chapter, we shall try to read him “forward,” as it were, and thus try to identify how elements of his work have inspired other sociological thinkers and are employed as building blocks in contemporary social and sociological theory. Besides recording some of the most significant sociological analyses in the field of everyday, modern life, Goffman’spost, publications have, indisputably, left distinct imprints in contemporary sociological theory. Not only has Goffman’s authorship acted as inspiration or a dialogue partner to some of today’s most distinguished sociological theory builders, his sociology has also acted as a launch pad for what has grown to become a large number of empirically orientedcopy, studies of individuals in different social situations and contexts. In the following, we shall consider the links and inspiration from Goffman to a number of central sociologists who have used or related to his conceptual framework in their own, original theory construction. As Goffmannot has been influential to many sociological thinkers, our listing here of theorists with a Goffmanian flavor is not, of course, an exhaustive one. We have selected a sample of well-known sociologists on whom Goffman’s Doideas have had significant influence. These are Harold Garfinkel and his ethnomethodological position, Jürgen Habermas and his theory on commu- nicative action, Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory, Pierre Bourdieu’s reflexive sociology, and Anthony Giddens and his theory of structuration.

    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository Chapter 29 Performativity and performance Moya Lloyd Loughborough University Abstract This article explores the concepts of performativity and performance in feminist theory. It begins by examining the idea of gender performativity in the work of Judith Butler, tracing its development from her earliest writings through to Gender Trouble and Bodies that Matter, and showing how Butler’s initial argument draws from phenomenology, and from performance studies (where acts are understood in theatrical terms). This is followed by a discussion of gender understood ethnomethodologically as a type of routine performance or form of “doing”. The second half of the article focuses on linguistic theories of performativity, derived from J. L. Austin and Jacques Derrida, and how they have been used by feminists such as Catharine MacKinnon, Rae Langton, and Judith Butler to illustrate pornography and hate-speech. After a discussion of the performativity of pornography, the focus turns to citationality, resignification, and “talking-back”. Keywords: gender performativity, linguistic performativity, gender as “doing”, gender performance, ethnomethodology, theatrical acts, pornography, hate-speech, “talking-back”. In 1990 a book was published that changed feminist theory profoundly. The book was Gender Trouble and its author was Judith Butler. The transformations it wrought on feminist understandings of the relationship between sex and gender centered on the effect of one of its central concepts. The concept in question was performativity, or, more accurately, gender performativity, for performativity has a history that predates and exceeds the work of Butler. 1 It originates initially in speech act theory; specifically, in the work of English philosopher, J.
