- Abstract
The Radicalism of Ethnomethodology: An Assessment of Sources and Principles By Martyn Hammersley (Manchester University Press, 2018) The structure of this book is a preface, an introduction, five main chapters, and then a conclusion. This use of non-ironic theoretical "ironicization", the avoidance of which is central to ethnomethodology's critiques and disavowal of formal sociology, is one of the ways Hammersley displays he really has not grasped ethnomethodology. This really becomes clear in the following chapter in I his i account of ethnomethodology's presuppositions which displays classic formal social theorization on Hammersley's part, by outlining sociological theories prior to ethnomethodology, projecting them into ethnomethodology, then making ethnomethodology - or his interpretation of who counts as an ethnomethodologist, and their writings - accountable to those theories, whether they acknowledged themselves as accountable to them or not.
