“…Although it would have been ideal to spend more time observing practices instead of talking about them, this was not possible due to the geographical spread and variety of actors as well as the limited resources of the research project. While practice-based research is often equated with participant observation (see, e.g., Schmidt, 2012: 49), we agree with those researchers who critically question the assumption that the visual is authentic in itself (Nassehi, 2006: 231; Schäfer and Daniel, 2015: 45). While the meanings of practices are to a certain extent public and collective, it is the researcher’s task to understand the social space in which they are enacted, in order to decipher their specific meanings.…”

By analysing a comparative case study investigating a development project implemented in Uganda and Vietnam, the article aims to understand how donor directives travel and translate into actual practices in aid chains. Making use of Norman Long’s concept of the interface, we focus on the interfaces between organizations to examine the negotiation of everyday project practices. Based on practice theory, our analysis unpacks how directives are filtered through the power relationships that shape practices at the various interfaces. We find that organizational relations between southern organizations are just as power-laden as north–south relations. Our analysis also shows that neither the management directives nor the freedoms that were granted to the participating organizations resulted in uniform practices and that practices did not have the same implications for organizations. Hence, the aid chain concept tends to simplify the complexities inherent in project systems comprising a multiplicity of vertical and horizontal organizational relations.

“…Already in the aforementioned paper on the “sociological attitude,” Garfinkel (1951) highlighted the “problem of the observer as part of the field of observation” and the “problem of ethnocentrism of the investigator.” Although many of Garfinkel’s arguments have been highly influential in qualitative methodology and there have been discussions about the “complex ways” that ethnomethodology and ethnography are interrelated (e.g. ten Have, 2004), an “ethnomethodological ethnography” was never canonized in handbooks or proposed as a general research approach (but see, Meier zu Verl, 2018; Meyer, 2015; Eisenmann, 2022). Even within the field of EM/CA, despite the fact that many early and highly influential studies were ethnographies (e.g., Liberman, 2004; Livingston, 1986; Lynch, 1985; Sudnow, 1978; Wieder, 1969), its notion has partly been lost (cf.…”

Based on the authors’ ethnographies in the fields of taiji, ballet, and yoga, this article outlines and reflects the theoretical and empirical scope of what we mean by “ethnomethodological ethnography.” Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis (EM/CA) have been juxtaposed and pit against various forms of ethnography and vice versa—for example, by criticizing various theoretical underpinnings of ethnographies, viewing EM/CA as a very limited micro-sociological research method, or by critiquing (auto-)ethnography as egocentric, self-absorbed, and ill-equipped to account for the detail and sequential organization of natural occurring actions and circumstances. Contrary to such deliberations, we highlight their common interest in putting empirical social phenomena first. In getting access to and describing what social phenomena consist of, members’ competencies and detailed analysis of recorded data mutually elaborate each other. In this sense, they are potentially not only mutually inclusive but, as we shall argue, the entire field of EM/CA studies depends to some degree on actually doing ethnography. Based on our own ethnographic research, we will then zoom in on the case of taiji practice to highlight the relevance of autoethnography and evaluate how ethnographic reflections of self and body constitute and may foster “uniquely adequate” qualitative research. Ultimately, the aim is to explicate how EM/CA research policies differ from textbook oriented instructions and are better considered as praxeological respecifications of doing ethnomethodological ethnography in particular cases.
