	Ethnomethodology and Deviance
		Ethnomethodology extends the phenomenological perspective to the study of everyday social interaction.
		Ethnomethodology can be seen as forming the foundation of the Labeling Perspective, focusing on how labels, symbolic meanings attached to behavior, are constructed through the interpretive work of individuals in everyday life situations.
		Out of the spiral of indexicality and reflexivity a sense of structure emerges as a practical accomplishment of everyday interpretive processes, confirming and elaborating deviant identities–subjectively for the individuals involved, and objectively for the organizations which may be involved in documenting these identities.

	Ethnomethodology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ethnomethodology (literally, 'the study of people's methods') is a sociological discipline and paradigm which focuses on the way people make sense of the world and display their understandings of it.
		For instance, ethnomethodology has always focused on the ways in which words are reliant for their meaning on the context in which they are used (they are 'indexical').
		Ethnomethodology has also influenced the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge by providing a research strategy that precisely describes the methods of its research subjects without the necessity of evaluating their validity.

	Ethnomethodology - An Introduction
		Ethnomethodology simply means the study of the ways in which people make sense of their social world.
		This is because the stance of ethnomethodology suggests that all meanings are and can only ever be subjective and that the only objective social reality, and therefore the only thing worth studying, is the reality of commonly understood methods of communication.
		However ethnomethodology is a very good method for seeing how individuals make sense of the social world for themselves, in effect creating their own reality from precious little real information provided.

	Ethnomethodology at Work
		Ethnomethodology is an exciting approach to problem solving based on describing the routine, everyday activities of ordinary folk.
		Rather than treating folk as dopes or dummies and telling them what to do, what to know and how to do what they do as most social scientists and organization researchers do, ethnomethodology's programme is to reveal the methods ordinary folk use to approach, to understand and to be in their world.
		Most people-problems resolve themselves when they are described in that most "problems" arise because one person or group fails to understand the what, how and why of someone else's reasoning.

	Lynch on Schutz and Science: Postanalytic Ethnomethodology Reconsidered
		I agree that studies in ethnomethodology and sociology of science not only offer critical purchase on topics in epistemology and social theory but also provide leverage for an immanent critique of the modes of explanation and analysis that are employed in both fields.
		In terms of Lynch’s argument about the breach between ‘protoethnomethodology’ and ‘ethnomethodology proper’ this is an interesting study insofar as it appears to represent the point at which Garfinkel’s early concern with Schutzian arguments was superseded by his subsequent emphasis on the indexicality and reflexivity of members’ accounts.
		It is worth mentioning in passing, however, that a key move in the history of ethnomethodology seems to have been that of replacing the search for the ‘formal structures of practical actions’ (Garfinkel and Sacks, 1970) with the examination of the hidden work that underpins the terms of reference of other enquiring disciplines (Garfinkel, 1991).

	Ethnomethodology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ethnomethodology is an approach in sociology whereby the objective is not to develop abstract theories of social reality, but rather, to understand how social reality is achieved and how people make it work.
		The ethnomethodlogical approach lays emphasis on the indexicality of reality which means that everyday observations of life reflect the way reality functions.
		Ethnomethodology originated in the work of Harold Garfinkel in 1967, first brought together in his book Studies in Ethnomethodology.

	Ethnomethodology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ethnomethodology is branch of sociology which concerns itself with how people make sense of the society they live in and learn to act appropriately within its norms.
		As a field of study it derives from Garfinkel whose work has been described as "the pursuit of a single question - how do social actors come to know, and know in common, what they are doing and the circumstances in which they are doing it?" [Heritage 1984].
		Schön (1983) advocated the value of practitioners' own reflections on their practice as an important source of knowledge for the purposes of research in the practitioner's professional area.

	Misreading Schutz: A Response to Dennis on ‘Lynch on Schutz on Science’
		Far from offering ‘post-analytic ethnomethodology’ as a corrective, I suggest (1993: 152-3) that it may be impossible to proceed with a social science (or something like a social science) that does not rely upon some kind of principled (‘protoethnomethodological’) distinction between ordinary and scientific (or academic) analysis.
		The radical promise of ethnomethodology, at least as I view it, is to undertake research without initially setting up a secure refuge for ‘analysis’ that would be uncontaminated by the commonsense knowledge and everyday methods studied.
		However, as I noted, the professionalized form of ethnomethodology becomes difficult to sustain in the face of the insight that available positions for ‘experts’, ‘analysts’, and ‘methodologists’ are already occupied in and around the communities that produce such methods.

		Following the tenets of ethnomethodology, they were interested in examining the micro-practices of discourse.

	Corpus Mmothra: Ethnomethodology
		I recently became interested (perhaps obsessed is a better word) in ethnomethology through the work of the living treasure that is Robert Anton Wilson.
		Ethnomethodology is a subcategory of sociology that examines the ways in which people psychically organize and otherwise make sense of their world.
		For them social order is constructed in the minds of social actors as society confronts the individual as a series of sense impressions and experiences which she or he must somehow organise into a coherent pattern.

		Ethnomethodology is "the study of common social knowledge, in particular as it concerns the understanding of others and the varieties of circumstance in which it can take place." -- Simon Blackburn,

	Ethnomethodology's Program and Practical Inquiry
		That is, if social facts exist only in the embodied details of interaction in concrete occurrences, then verbal specifications of social facts do not constitute them as social facts but can at best serve as aids or “instructions” that for competent observers can index their recognition of generic phenomena in particular cases.
		To do justice, one must read, and re-read, the book—a challenging task from which Garfinkel’s peculiar style of writing, so mannered that it often verges on self-parody, seems likely to deter many less motivated readers.
		Garfinkel’s peculiar literary style is characterized in part by the use of certain formulaic phrases that occur repeatedly throughout his text.

		The first chapter lays out some critiques of ethnomethodology, the least serious of which seems to basically boil down to “Goddamn hippies!” The others are more cogent and thus more important to my prelim studying, but they are of no import for my t-shirt.
		…it was noticeable, and I think significant that the quality and quantity of ethno-chicks [at an ethnomethodology conference that Gellner attended] surpassed by far those of chicks in any other movement which I have ever observed–even Far Out Left Chicks, not to mention ordinary anthropo-chicks, socio-chicks or (dreadful thought) philosophy chicks (435).
