“hidden in the foliage”

In June 2024, a special issue CFP on the Chicago School sparked a collaboration with @robinjsmith.bsky.social, Terry, Erik & Patrik. Inspired by Sacks' (1992:27) appreciative critique, we explored how CS ethnography may relate to the development of #EMCA. Our paper is now out #OpenAccess: t.ly/Has34

I'd also highly recommend reading some of Sacks' Lectures on Conversation, published posthumously in 1992 -- they don't have the formalism that Stuart pointed out and that was somewhat characteristic of Sacks' papers published during his lifetime...

Yes, and the EM part is Ethnomethodology.
The screenshot in Mark's post is from the groundbreaking article by Sacks, Schegloff and Jefferson titled "A Simplest Systematics for the Organization of Turn-Taking for Conversation" (1974).

Thank you! Indeed, we spent much time discussing the "provability" of poetic phenomena -- this seems to be one of the main challenges, and we only scratched the surface in the present paper.

Jakub Mlynář @jakubmlynar.bsky.social · Aug 12

Many thanks for the suggestions, of course, not everything can fit in one paper and we tried to keep our focus rather narrow in this one...

Jakub Mlynář @jakubmlynar.bsky.social · Aug 7

Now I remembered what actually prompted the paper -- it was this footnote in our previous article. We realized that such "footnoting" is a characteristically predominant way of dealing with poetics and wanted to explore that further.

Thank you, Marina! Well, I am not quite sure about the prompt anymore :) But I believe there was first an interest in 'poetics' as such, and in the notion of the 'wild'. After a while, we decided to focus more closely on transcription of 'sound patterns' as a case in point...

Our new #EMCA paper, co-authored with Yeji Rieser, is out in #QualitativeResearch!

We revisit a rich but often overlooked strand of conversation analysis, exploring how transcription practices deal with the wildness of talk's poeticity.

Today I posted the 31st & final entry in a thread commemorating the work of Jeff Coulter, following his death in April. While not an exhaustive list, I hope it offers a sense of Jeff’s distinctive contribution, combining Rylean OLP with EMCA.

Great thread, fully agree. I was recently rereading Coulter's "Twenty-five Theses against Cognitivism" and was reminded how important and overlooked it is. Sometimes I miss such uncompromising spirit in today's academia. Livingston's latest has it, and I appreciate it a lot. Button et al. 2022 too.

Livingston surely stirred things up with the paper, I really enjoyed the discussion.

A classic indeed! In addition, Kathryn Roulston has done very interesting work in approaching and analysing qualitative research interviews as interactional achievements.

True, many classical studies are overlooked in EM/CA

The photos are from the book "Garfinkel's Study", taken in 2008-2009 and (self)published shortly after.

For the EM corner, I've been recently taking reading recommendations from "the source", so to speak... This is what Garfinkel used to call, metaphorically, the "Ten Foot Shelf": a collection of books that he regarded as exemplary.
