'... This is an excellent collection which attempts to explore
fundamental features of social analysis... The arguments presented
have profound implications for the analysis of classroom
interaction and other features of the educational world.'
Language and Education
‘It is to John Heritage’s great credit that he has
sifted the wheat from the chaff. He has given us a clear exposition
of the intellectual antecedents of Garfinkel’s work-notably
Husserl, Schutz, and Mannheim-and of its affinities with
Wittgenstein and ordinary language philosophy. He has amply
illustrated aspects of Garfinkel’s own work and in particular
has shown how conversation analysis, which is particularly indebted
to the research of the late Harvey Sacks, has become a prominent
form of ethnomethodological work. The book is well-organized and
clearly written.’ John Eldridge, Times Higher Education
Supplement
‘Scholarly, accurate, timely…a comprehensive overview and critique of ethnomethodologically informed conversation analysis is now available in coherent and accessible form.’ Contemporary Sociology
