Abstract
In the early 1970s, Harold Garfinkel launched a research program on studies of work. Such work was not limited to on-the-job performances in specific occupations or professions. Although it included labor practices associated with particular organizations and occupations, it also encompassed the work of driving in traffic, queuing for a service, and other everyday practices. “Work” thus was salient in at least two ways: first, as a reference to occupational, professional, and organized recreational activities; and second, as a reference to the practical accomplishment of a broad range of what Garfinkel called “naturally organized ordinary activities.” This chapter focuses on both aspects of such studies of work: the study of specialized organizational activities and the study of everyday activities. In addition to reviewing the studies of work program and tracing its influence in fields such as science and technology studies (STS) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), the chapter focuses on distinctive themes, such as “the unique adequacy requirement of methods” and “instructed actions” in the production of social order. Finally, the chapter discusses practical and professional implications of Garfinkel’s proposal for the development of “hybrid” fields that would integrate ethnomethodology with the practices studied.
