Abstract

Benson and Hughes present in this volume an introduction to ethnomethodology. They set out its aims as a sociological discipline and provide a sample of what is involved in ethnomethodology in a clear and comprehensible way. The authors build upon traditional sociology placing ethnomethodological examples in direct contrast to the more familiar theories, methods and approaches. They discuss the intellectual background of ethnomethodology, in particular the work of Schutz through to Gartinkel and Sacks and include detailed discussions of research in the field to provide students and teachers of sociology and related disciplines with essential insight into this relatively new area of sociology.
