Abstract:

It's been more than fifty years since Harold Garfinkel created the field of
ethnomethodology--a discipline that offers a new way of understanding how
people make sense of their everyday world. Since his book Studies in
Ethnomethodology published in 1967, there has been a substantial--although
often subterranean--growth in ethnomethodological (EM) work. Studies in and
appreciation of ethnomethodological work continue to grow, but the breadth and
penetration of his insights and inspiration for ongoing research have yet to
secure their full measure of recognition.

This volume celebrates Harold Garfinkel's enormous contributions to sociology
and conversation analysis, exploring how ethnomethodology emerged, the
empirical consequences of Garfinkel's work, and the significant contemporary
work that has resulted from it. Douglas W. Maynard and John Heritage bring
together experts from a wide range of theoretical and empirical areas to
create the first comprehensive collection of work on EM that encompasses its
role in "studies of work," in Conversation Analysis, and in other
subdisciplines. Chapters highlight ethnomethodology's distinctive forms of
ethnographic inquiry and its influences on a host of substantive domains
including legal environments, science and technology, workplace and
organizational inquiries, survey research, social problems and deviance, and
disability and atypical interaction. The book explains how EM especially
helped to set the agenda for gender studies, while also developing insights
for inquiries into racial and ethnic features of everyday life and experience.

Still, there is much of what Garfinkel called "unfinished business," which
means that ethnomethodological inquiries are continuing to intensify and
develop. "Harold Garfinkel and Ethnomethodology" ddresses this unfinished
business: not only drawing attention to past accomplishments in the field, but
also suggesting how these accomplishments set the stage for future endeavors
that will benefit from EM-inspired approaches to social organization and
interaction.
