Resumo

This study examines a telephone switchboard that provides sex information to anonymous callers. Telephone volunteers undergo a training program in which they are taught a philosophical charter about sex that they are expected to follow in handling calls. Once working the telephone, volunteers creatively apply this charter to make sense of the calls they receive. Charter concerns, it is argued, serve to organize volunteers' telephone activities.
