Abstract
From the very beginning EMCA has manifested a strong interest in family and family relationships. Through breaching experiments conducted in everyday family life, ethnography on the social organisation of dying, and the close examination of audio recordings of real-life interactions, early studies investigated classic topics of sociological inquiry: social order, its underlying morality, and socialisation. The aim was to reveal how members’ organisation of everyday and institutional interactions reflects and at the same time constitutes the social and moral order of family, family relationships, socialisation and members’ shared understanding of them. This chapter discusses early EMCA contributions to the study of family, (family) relationships, and socialisation, reviews how they have been taken up and further developed within the EMCA community and makes some suggestions for further research.
