This book presents a vivid and close-up view of social science
researchers engaged in fieldwork, in discussions with colleagues,
and in writing. Adopting an ethnographic approach inspired by
ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, the author pursues a
praxeological analysis of social inquiry in situ. By conceiving of
analytical practices such as observation, shop talk, and
conceptualization in experiential terms, the seen but unnoticed
structures of knowledge work are exposed and made available for
empirical analysis. In a departure from ethnographic studies of
research that focus on the physical sciences, the author uses the
example of sociological research to shed new light on the role of
self and mind for epistemic cultures, on the elusive materiality of
conceptual objects, and on researchers' experiential ways of
seizing, reviewing, and accrediting knowledge. A rich and pervasive
study of elementary sites in the research process, The Body of
Knowledge will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, and
the humanities with interests in the epistemic practice of their
own discipline, as well as those working in fields such as the
social study of science, ethnomethodology and conversation
analysis, and the sociology of interaction.
