This book revisits the arguments by which Harvey Sacks and Harold
Garfinkel opposed the widespread attempt in the social sciences to
construct disciplinary theories and methods in place of
common-sense knowledge of human action, and proposed instead an
alternative that would investigate the organised methods of natural
language use and common-sense reasoning that constitute social
orders - arguments that led to the establishment and proliferation
of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. As the very
"constructive analysis" that they opposed has begun to be
incorporated into influential lines of research in ethnomethodology
and conversation analysis, the authors return to the founding
insights of the field and reiterate the importance of Garfinkel and
Sacks' original and controversial proposals for an "alternate"
sociology of practical action and practical reasoning. Showing how
constructive analysis has become entrenched in ethnomethodology and
conversation analysis and arguing for a need to "re-boot" these
approaches, this volume constitutes a call for a renewal of the
radical alternative proposed by Garfinkel and Sacks.
