Abstract
This editorial chapter provides the rationale behind the Handbook. This includes detailing the sociological provenance of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis; acknowledging that ethnomethodology and conversation analysis are recognised as two separate, identifiable fields; discussing the scope of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis in terms of epistemological developments, methodology (including generalisation), methods, subject matter and interrelationships between these. In doing so, this chapter addresses core thematics within ethnomethodology, such as instructed action and respecification, taking “concrete aesthetics” as its worked example. However, it also acknowledges that an ethnomethodology/conversation analysis bifurcation has not necessarily created a simple binary: that various adaptions and adoptions of ethnomethodological/conversation-analytic practices are emergent from within, and sometimes from without, the ethnomethodological community, are ongoing and important.
