Abstract

Abstract In this article, I identify ‘‘spontaneity’’ as a significant but poorly-ana- lyzed term in social theory and description through an overview of tensions between varying technical accounts of spontaneity in research literature. In contrast to conceptually-slippery ‘‘realist’’ accounts of spontaneity, I argue for viewing spon- taneity ethnomethodologically, i.e., as a contextually-emergent social practice. I suggest two directions for future applications of this approach: first, an eth- nomethodological approach to rhetorical analysis of unanalyzed use of the term ‘‘spontaneity’’ in research literature, and second, observational studies of improvi- sational theatre, a social practice in which orientation toward the production of spontaneity by participants is criterial to the identity of the practice.
