“Machine Down”
This paper examines Harold Garfinkel’s work with ELIZA and a related program LYRIC from 1967 to 1969. AI researchers have tended to treat successful human–machine interaction as if it relied primarily on non-human machine characteristics, and thus the often-reported attribution of human-like qualities to communication with computers has been criticized as a misperception—and humans who make such reports referred to as “deluded.” By contrast Garfi…
The digital governmentality of marriage migration
There is extensive research on the governmentality of marriage migration, but more is needed about the role of digital spaces. This article focuses on how online US spousal reunification forums and their users define and police ideological norms regarding the US family and decide which transnational relationships are ‘worthy’ of immigration. We show that through their interactions on the site, users perform borderwork and police family, race and …
Disorder or difference? How clinician-patient interaction and patient age shape the process and meaning of autism diagnosis
This article follows Blaxter's foundational call for a sociology of diagnosis that addresses the dual aspects of diagnosis-as-category and diagnosis-as-process. Drawing on video recordings from an autism clinic, we show how the process of attaching the diagnosis to a child involves interactions between clinicians, parents and children, and that in the course of such interactions, a diagnostic category officially defined in terms of deficits can i…
A View from the Margins
Spaces on the Spectrum: How Autism Movements Resist Experts and Create Knowledge By Catherine Tan (Columbia University Press, 2024) Four decades ago, autism was a rare disorder with an estimated prevalence rate of 4 in 10,000 children. Today in the United States, that figure has climbed to 1 in 36. One of the most important drivers of this increase has been the transformation of autism from a discrete disorder into a spectrum that encompasses man…
Interaction order and the labeling of disorder
Garfinkel's Politics
From his 1940-1942 studies of Race, through his 1967 study of an "inter-sexed" person called Agnes, Garfinkel's research was always politically engaged . When Garfinkel was Parsons' PhD student at Harvard (1946-1952) and later during a period of collaboration with Parsons (1958-1964), both theorized culture as a domain of social interaction independent from social structure and resting on its own implicit social contract. This conception of cultu…
The development of Garfinkel's 'Trust' argument from 1947 to 1967
Garfinkel began developing his famous Trust argument, that a minimum of equality and reciprocity he called 'Trust Conditions' is a prerequisite for sense-making in interaction, while working with Parsons from 1946 to 1952. The argument grounds a social justice approach to social order and meaning with affinities to Durkheim's 'implicit conditions of contract' and Du Bois' 'double consciousness'. Tracing the development of the Trust argument, we e…
Discovering culture” in interaction
Doing Abstraction
Recent decades have witnessed a dramatic upsurge in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). As researchers have investigated the responsible sociohistorical conditions, they have neglected how clinicians determine the diagnosis in local encounters in the first place. Articulating a position 'between Foucault and Goffman,' we ask how the interaction order of the clinic articulates with larger-scale historical forces affecting the definit…
Documenting diagnosis
All diagnosis depends on communication between doctors and patients. This is especially so with behavioural disorders such as autism, where structured interactions involving clinicians and children (e.g. standardised tests) play a key role in diagnosing the condition. Although such interactions are collaborative, we find that when reporting test results, clinicians, following administrative protocols, routinely gloss over the embodied interaction…
Problems Establishing Identity/Residency in a City Neighborhood during a Black/White Police–Citizen Encounter
This article revisits W.E.B. Du Bois' (1943) conception of “The Submissive Man” in the context of a Black/White police–citizen encounter. Du Bois argued that submission to democratic principles that place the well–being of the whole over the individual is a Black American ideal, which offers a necessary counter–balance to the individualism of the dominant White “Strong Man” ideal. We contrast this preference for “submission” and “cooperation” in …
Narrative Methods for Differential Diagnosis in a Case of Autism
Diagnosis is rarely a straightforward process. This is especially so in psychiatry, where diagnoses are not based on organic biomarkers (e.g., blood tests). Diagnosis can be particularly complicated for children, whose symptoms must be disentangled from typical developmental processes. In this paper, we examine how clinicians use narrative as a method for differentiating a child's autism from a possible co‐morbid seizure disorder. Our approach is…
From “Ridiculous” to “Glad to Have Helped”
Commentators on Milgram’s classic and controversial experiments agree that better integration of theories of “obedience to authority” with current archival research on participants’ viewpoints is essential in explaining compliance. Using conversation analysis, we examine an archived data source that is largely overlooked by the Milgram literature, yet crucial for understanding the interactional organization of participants’ displayed perspectives…
On the Use of “I Just Thought” Formulations for Modifying One’s Stance Toward a Problematic Action
This article identifies a practice that speakers use in everyday conversation to distance themselves from accountable actions. By using the phrase “I just thought” (IJT) in connection with a target action—which may or may not already be “on record”—speakers downgrade their commitment to that action, while nonetheless not abandoning it entirely. IJTs can be produced on behalf of the speaker or an interlocutor. When produced on behalf of an interlo…
Doing Diagnosis
This study, with an eye toward the social psychology of diagnosis more generally, is an investigation of how clinicians diagnose children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Responding to Hacking’s call for a Goffmanian mode of analysis to complement and balance the emphasis on large-scale transformations and discourses, we examine the narrative way in which clinicians provide evidence to support a diagnostic position. Using recordings and trans…

Ethnomethodology and Social Phenomenology
Category attribution as a device for diagnosis
The practice of medicine involves applying abstract diagnostic classifications to individual patients. Patients present with diverse histories and symptoms, and clinicians are tasked with fitting them into generic categories. They must also persuade patients, or family members, that the diagnosis is appropriate and elicit compliance with prescribed treatments. This can be especially challenging with psychiatric disorders such as autism, for which…

The Interactional Production of a Clinical Fact in a Case of Autism
So, why did you decide to do this?’ Soliciting and formulating motives for speed dating
We bring a conversation analytic perspective to the phenomenon of soliciting and providing motives for participation in speed dating. Using data from three speed-dating events, we analyze how college-aged volunteers in a research study collaboratively formulate motives for participation and identities as speed daters. The findings reveal detailed and sequentially organized procedures by which participants display, monitor, and enforce normative e…
Assessing the experience of speed dating
We use conversation analysis and a research design modeled on speed dating to examine college-aged speed daters’ assessments of their experience of this activity. In getting acquainted, participants solicit and provide accounts of the experience that treat it delicately and impersonally. Further, participants collaborate to claim a shared naivete toward speed dating, thereby presenting themselves as ordinary college students having a new experien…
