Abstract
The Special Issue on Ethnomethodology and Ethnography was developed out of a series of panels at the 2019 conference on ‘Practices’ of the ‘International Institute for Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis’ held in Mannheim (Germany), from 2 to 5 July. These aimed at reconsidering, empirically as well as theoretically, the important and foundational relationships between Ethnography and Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis (EMCA) that often have been problematized and sometimes even considered antagonistic. This theme not only generated many more submissions than could be accepted, but it also drew a big audience and much interest, especially among EMCA scholars working ethnographically. It further stirred ongoing in-depth discussions that contributed to this volume. Considering contemporary developments within the diverse field of Ethnography, on the one hand, – that partly grew out of specific concerns such as sensory, digital, feminist, and post-colonial research – and current studies in EMCA, for example, on media, technology, and social inequalities, on the other hand, it seems that mutual overlaps and their potentials have partly been overlooked, under-conceptualized, and at times perhaps even obscured or misunderstood.
