Abstract
This article is written in honour of Harold Garfinkel (October 29, 1923–April 21, 2011), a thinker who has been greatly influential, directly and indirectly, in shaping many fields of academic study. The aim is to explicate the question ‘What is Ethnomethodology?’ by making explicit the early (1967) and late (2002) versions of Garfinkel’s ethnomethodology. This is done in two parts: the first looks at Garfinkel’s attempts to articulate and operationalise different sociological conceptions of social action; the second turns to Harold Garfinkel and Anne Rawls’s re-specification of Durkheim. The article argues that this ‘radical new beginning’ represents an opportunity for sociologists to focus on the unexamined relations between the various postphenomenological conceptions of social action, the critical tradition of social theory, and the ‘visible, however unnoticed’ core of ethnomethodological ‘theory’.

Summary
Kad nuo Alfredo Schutzo, Haroldo Garfinkelio, Harvey Sackso, Egono Bittnerio, Aarono Cicourelio bei kitų pradininkų kasdienis pasaulis ir buvo pradėtas tirti kaip savaiminis fenomenas (ten pat). Priešingai, EM būtent konkretybėje ieško struktūrinių „kas dar?“ reiškinių: tik čia, tik dabar, tik po ranka, tik tai, kas yra čia, tik tuo laiku, kurį turi šis vietinis sambūris, tik čia ir su tuo, ką tik šis, vietinis, t.y. mūsų sambūris gali padaryti, ir tik tuo laiku, kurio reikia mums; tik su, tik kaip, tik šiose in vivo procedūrose ...
