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.
