Abstract
The paper reviews recent publications in ethnomethodology (EM) from a sympathetic but critical perspective. It is agreed that EM has made major contributions to sociological theory and to the empirical investigation of everyday life. A number of major reservations are made, however. The author suggests that some contemporary versions of EM-onversation analysis in particular-have an unduly restricted perspective. They give rise to a sociolo gy which is behaviorist and empiricist, and which does not reflect the interpretative origins that inspired EM. Far from being a coherent and homogenous movement, the author suggests, EM is marked by inconsistency.
