➞ Program

Since the beginning of the CRC 1187 “Media of Cooperation”, materials and methods from the Harold Garfinkel Archive have grounded research and initiated productive discussions for understanding media practices. The work began with an onsite workshop at the Archive in 2016.

For the third phase we are bringing together another group of practicing ethnomethodologists for an onsite workshop to probe that legacy in the light of ongoing ethnographic and archival research. The workshop offers a venue to tackle core issues of the third funding phase in the context of P01 research on the sociology of perception, technical mediation, and multi-sensorial practice(s).

The workshop will scrutinize and further develop the mutually instructive relationship between archival work and ethnographic research, while also considering the Archive as a field site and material reservoir for doing practical research on topics such as instructed action, embodied practice, the interactional construction of sensing and “dis-abilities”, tutorial problems, and “et cetera”.

With contributions by Anne W. Rawls, Michael Lynch, Jakub Mlynář, Jason Turowetz, Philippe Sormani, and Clemens Eisenmann.

The event is primarily planned as an on-site event. To participate, please reach out to Dr. Clemens Eisenmann.
