By the late 1960s the sociological investigation of social practices had reached an inflection point. In 1967, the publication of Studies in Ethnomethodology by Harold Garfinkel turned sociological investigation upside down. Instead of setting out with a formal definition of sociology or social science, ontological and/or epistemological, and a methodology designed to match it, Garfinkel’s Studies demonstrated and described how society-members themselves already constituted social reality in and as their everyday practices. Taking its cue from this programmatic reversal, current ethnomethodology (EM) has become a diversified field, spanning conversation analysis and conceptual inquiry, as well as technical self-instruction and performative intervention. At the same time, several translations of Garfinkel’s Studies have seen the light of day, including its Spanish, French and German translations (published in 2006, 2007 and 2020, respectively). Add to that renewed interpretations of ethnomethodology’s “programmatic reversal” of sociological inquiry and its hybridized ramifications, as well as new editions of Garfinkel’s earlier and later work (e.g., Garfinkel 2008, 2022). Against this multifaceted background, the present workshop brings together current researchers and sociologists to discuss the past, present, and prospects of ethnomethodology in the light of The Anthem Companion to Harold Garfinkel (Sormani & Vom Lehn 2023), a recently published volume dedicated to probing Garfinkel’s experimental legacy and charting the heuristic tensions between EM’s video-analytic and practical moments of inquiry.
