In diesem Artikel berichten wir einige Beobachtungen, die wir hinsichtlich der internationalen Rezeption des kommunikativen Konstruktivismus (KoKo) in Großbritannien und den USA gemacht haben. Dadurch versuchen wir zu erklären, warum KoKo in unseren Augen bisher kaum einen Einfluss auf die anglo-amerikanische Soziologie genommen hat. Dabei beziehen wir uns auf die Beziehung des Forschungsprogrammes zur interaktionistischen Soziologie in Großbritannien und den USA, insbesondere den symbolischen Interaktionismus und die Ethnomethodologie sowie auf die Ausrichtung der ethnografischen Forschung in der anglo-amerikanischen Soziologie. Wir schließen mit einigen Hinweisen darauf, wie KoKo an Diskussionen in der Soziologie in Großbritannien und den USA Anschluss finden kann.... view less


In this article, we offer some observations on the international standing of communicative constructivism (CoCo), as discussed in scholarship published largely in German over the past decade (e.g., KELLER, KNOBLAUCH & REICHERTZ, 2013; KNOBLAUCH, 2019a [2016]; REICHERTZ, 2009).

In this article, we offer some observations on the international standing of communicative constructivism (CoCo), as discussed in scholarship published largely in German over the past decade (e.g., KELLER, KNOBLAUCH & REICHERTZ, 2013; KNOBLAUCH, 2019a [2016]; REICHERTZ, 2009). We seek to explain why, in our view, CoCo has not thus far had a noticeable influence on academic discourse in international, particularly Anglo-American, sociology. Amongst others, we highlight issues regarding the name that was picked for the perspective and regarding the literal translation of German CoCo terminology into the English language. We also point to some theoretical and methodological choices that have made it difficult to link CoCo to interactionist sociology in general, and to ethnomethodology and ethnography in particular, i.e., perspectives that we are closely aligned with. We conclude with a summary of our observations and a few suggested steps communicative constructivists might consider taking to broaden and diversify the appeal of their program beyond German speaking sociology.... view less
