Abstract
Notes
In this innovative book, Francis and Hester offer a new and accessible approach to ethnomethodological sociology that is grounded in the empirical analysis of social action. Students are invited to explore the social world at first hand, with reference to data that captures the detail of social action and interaction in a variety of settings. Drawing on both original material and published studies, Francis and Hester demonstrate how ethnomethodology and its sister discipline, conversation analysis, can be carried out with an attention to detail typically overlooked by more traditional ethnographic approaches. Throughout the book, examples of ethnomethodological analysis are given in relation to topic areas such as family life, education, medicine, organisational life and natural science. Readers are shown how to carry out their own inquiries, using methods and materials that are readily and ordinarily available.
