Abstract
The chapter provides a brief overview of conversation analysis (CA) by describing its epistemological background and methodological practices. It outlines how ethno methodological theory has been applied to the study of, and contributed to the understanding of, intercultural communication (IC) to date and proposes ways in which this line of research might move forward. CA sees activities and identities as constructed by participants in and through social interaction. Membership categorization analysis reveals how categories and category-bound activities are used in interaction to serve local social and interactional purposes. A long-lasting tension for researchers is to consider how to analyze IC and interculturality without using culture as an analytic construct in the study of (mis)communication, and without indulging in analytic stereotyping by characterizing the object of analysis (only) by the cultural differences which are ostensibly present.
