WHAT DOES ETHNOMETHODOLOGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ethnomethodology

Ethnomethodology is a method for understanding the social orders people use to make sense of the world through analysing their accounts and descriptions of their day-to-day experiences. It is an alternative to the American sociological approach to data analysis born in the 1960s with its theoretical and epistemological importance being that it is a radical breach from traditional sociological modes of thinking. The term itself was originally coined by Harold Garfinkel in 1954, but the discipline itself has changed from Garfinkel's original programme to the point where it is no longer recognisable. Ethnomethodology is a descriptive discipline and does not engage in the explanation or evaluation of the particular social order undertaken as a topic of study. As a method, it is used in ethnographic studies to describe people's methods that they use in everyday situations.
