With her book "Plans and Situated Actions: The Problem of Human-Machine Communication", Lucy Suchman (1987) not only opened up a whole new domain of scientific interest but also showed how the scope of ethnomethodological inquiry can be widened in a fruitful way. Since then she is best known for her extensive contributions to the field of science and technology studies. In this interview, Suchman gives insights into how she brought ethnomethodological sensibilities to new research fields, including human-machine interaction and feminist scholarship. She shares personal anecdotes of her meetings with Harold Garfinkel and reflects upon key ethnomethodological elements such as the analysis of mundane practices and the fundamental sociality of mutual intelligibility. Discussing the relevance for material studies and how ethnomethodology can contribute to a politically engaged social science, Suchman strikingly demonstrates the actuality of ethnomethodology's program.... view less

Mit ihrem Buch "Plans and Situated Actions: The Problem of Human-Machine Communication" erschloss Lucy Suchman (1987) nicht nur ein neues Wissenschaftsfeld, sie zeigte auch, wie sich der Fokus ethnomethodologischer Forschung gewinnbringend vergrößern lässt. Seitdem ist sie bekannt für ihre einflussreichen Beiträge im Feld der Science and Technology Studies. In diesem Interview erläutert Suchman, wie sie sich ethnomethodologisch sensibilisiert neuen Forschungsthemen widmete, insbesondere der Mensch-Maschine-Interaktion und der feministischen Wissenschaft. Sie teilt persönliche Anekdoten über ihre Treffen mit Harold Garfinkel und reflektiert zentrale ethnomethodologische Themen wie die Analyse von Alltagspraktiken und die fundamentale Sozialität wechselseitiger Verständlichkeit. Indem sie die Relevanz materialer Studien hervorhebt und diskutiert, wie die Ethnomethodologie zu einer politisch engagierten Wissenschaft beitragen kann, demonstriert Suchman eindrucksvoll die Aktualität des ethnomethodologischen Programms.... view less
