Abstract

Membership Categorization Analysis a qualitative approach to the study of social knowledge in action. The approach, originating from the work of Harvey Sacks, examines the ways in which descriptions of, and orientations to, social categories and their associated activities are used in everyday contexts and through which cultural reasoning practices are made visible. This article identifies key figures in Membership Categorization Analysis's development, describes the methodological principles underpinning the approach, and discusses some major methodological themes of the approach.
