Even though ethnomethodology has been characterised as having a "phenomenological sensibility", [14] and reliable commentators have acknowledged that "there is a strong influence of phenomenology on ethnomethodology" (Maynard and Kardash 2007:1484), some orthodox adherents to the discipline—those who follow the teachings of Garfinkel—do not ...
The problem consists of determining whether this influence is: (a) direct in terms of ethnomethodology being founded as a form of phenomenology itself, a phenomenological sociology a la Schutz; (b) founded on phenomenological insights taken from phenomenology, but not itself a form of phenomenology; or, (c) based on intentionally, "misread(ing ...
The social construction of reality and ethnomethodology are disciplinary extensions beyond the social phenomenology of Alfred Schutz. [ 22 ] As noted by Farganis (2011), phenomenological sociology is characterized as particularly subjective in nature because its emphasis of understanding reality through the perspective of the acting subject ...
The term phenomenology derives from the Greek φαινόμενον, phainómenon ("that which appears") and λόγος, lógos ("study"). It entered the English language around the turn of the 18th century and first appeared in direct connection to Husserl's philosophy in a 1907 article in The Philosophical Review.
Methods include symbolic interactionism and ethnomethodology; ethnomethodology in particular has led to many academic sub-divisions and studies such as micro-linguistical research and other related aspects of human social behaviour. Macrosociology, by contrast, concerns the social structure and broader systems.
In essence, phenomenology is the belief that society is a human construction. [42] The social phenomenology of Alfred Schütz influenced the development of the social constructionism and ethnomethodology. It was originally developed by Edmund Husserl. [43] [44]
