Abstract
Everyday life sociology comprises a broad spectrumof micro perspectives:
symbolic interactionism, dramaturgy,phenomenology, ethnomethodology,
and existential sociology. We discuss the underlyingthemes that bind these
diverse subfields into a unified approachto the studyof social interaction.We
outline the historical developmentof everyday life sociology, indicatingthe
individuals, ideas, and surroundingcontext that helped to shape this evolving
theoreticalmovement. We then examine threecontemporarydevelopmentsin
everyday life sociology thatrepresentsignificanttheoretical,substantive,and
methodological advances: existential sociology, the sociology of emotions,
and conversation analysis. Within these areas, we outline major themes,
review recent literature,and evaluate their contributionto sociology. Every-
day life sociology has had influence outside its arena, stimulating grand
theoriststo createvariousmicro-macrosyntheses. We considerthese andtheir
relation to the everyday life themes. We conclude by discussing the major
critiques and assess the future promise and problems of this perspective.
INTRODUCTION
Any attemptto offer a brief but thoroughoutline of the focus and scope of
everyday life sociology is difficult because of its diversity and the lack of
systematic integrationamong its subfields. In fact, the sociology of everyday

Kauffman 1944; Manning 1973; Mehan & Wood 1975; Phillips 1974). They
rejected the premise of subject-object dualism: the belief that the subject
(knower) and the object (known) can be effectively separatedthroughscienti-
fic principles. Procedures such as the objectification, detachment, control,
and manipulationof abstractedconcepts and variablesviolate the integrityof
the phenomena under study (Cicourel 1964; Douglas 1970a, 1976; Schutz
1962, 1964).
Contextuality
Everyday life sociologists sought to respect this integrityby studyingpeople
in their natural context: the everyday social world (Cicourel 1964; Denzin
1970; Douglas 1970a, 1976; Garfinkel1967; J. Lofland 1971, 1976). This is
the most fundamentaland centralemphasisof everydaylife sociology. Natur-
ally occurring interactionis the foundationof all understandingof society.
Describing and analyzing the character and implications of everyday life
interaction should thus serve as both the beginning and the end point of
sociology. This includes the perceptions, feelings, and meanings members
experience as well as the micro structurethey create in the process.
Social Structure
Second, they employ a view of social structureand social orderthat derives
from interactionand is also characterizedby a reciprocalrelationto it. Social
structure,organization,and orderdo not exist independentof the people that
interact within them (Blumer 1969). Rather, they are endogenously con-
structed, or constituted, as people negotiate their way through interactions
(Garfinkel 1967; Heritage 1984; Maines 1977, 1982; Strauss 1978). The
rituals and institutionsthey thus create then influence the characterof their
behavior throughthe expectations and micro social norms they yield (Goff-
man 1967). Interaction is thus both voluntaristic and structured(but not
completely determined)because of this reflexivity.

HISTORICALDEVELOPMENTOF EVERYDAY
LIFE SOCIOLOGY
The groundworkfor the developmentof everyday life sociology was laid in
the 1920s and 1930s in two philosophical traditions that established an
ideological foundation and direction for micro sociological theory. At the
University of Chicago, Mead was forging a pragmaticsocial behaviorismthat
would ultimately evolve into symbolic interactionism(Bulmer 1984, Rock
1979). In Germany, Husserl and Schutz were creating the emerging phe-
nomenological perspective (Wagner 1983). During this era, however, phe-
nomenology and social behaviorismwere fairly disparateand isolated, with
little reciprocal or combined influence.
By the 1950s and 1960s this isolation began to abate. Schutz came to the
New School for Social Researchwhere his influence spreadamong American
scholars. Blumer moved from the University of Chicago to the University of
California, Berkeley, and brought with him symbolic interactionism, his
revision of Mead's behaviorism. Shortly thereafterhe was joined by Goff-
man.
Blumer's interactionism(1969) took shape in California, where he in-
corporatedMead's conceptions of the rationallyvoluntaristicactor, reflexiv-
ity, androle-taking,with an emphasison the way actorsconstructtheirworlds
through subjective meanings and motivations. He thereforedirectedhis stu-
dents to look toward sharedmeanings establishedin social interactionand to
explore various "meaningworlds" (J. Irwin, personal communication).His
work was a critical impetus to the everyday life perspective in sociology.
Goffman's new subfield, dramaturgy,was launchedwith The Presentation
of Self in EverydayLife (1959). Influencedby the works of Blumer, Burke,
and Durkheim,Goffmanoffered an analysisof the individualin society which
made the arena of interactionthe locus of reality, of socialization, and of
societal regeneration.Goffman's work speaks to both roles (the natureof the
self) and rules (micro-socialnorms). Insteadof role-takingfor the purposeof
cooperativelyaligning their actions with others, Goffman's actorsintentional-
ly and manipulatively role-play for the purpose of managing others' im-
pressions of them. This occurs through the interactionrituals of everyday
life-rituals that shape the individual's inner self by externally imprinting
their rules on him or her at the same time they ensure the self-regulatory
characterof society (Collins 1980, Fontana 1980, Lofland 1980, Vidich &
Lyman 1985).
Garfinkel broadened the everyday life perspective with his Studies in
Ethnomethodology(1967). Garfinkel'sethnomethodologyaddressedParsons'
grandquestions aboutsocial orderand social structure,using Schutz's (1962,
1964, 1966, 1967) hermeneuticalperspectiveof the actor as a vocabularyfor
EVERYDAY LIFE 221
EXISTENTIALSOCIOLOGY
Existentialsociology is located within a philosophicaltraditionthatdatesback
to the ancient Greek culture. Early Greek existentialistsinclude both Thrasy-
machus, the sophist from Chalcedon who rejected Socrates' rational search
for an understandingof human beings within the cosmos, and the god
Dionysus, who representedthe inner feelings and situated expressions of
human beings, unbridled by any rational restrictions. More recently and
directly, this tradition draws on the existential philosophy of Heidegger,
Camus, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty, the phenomenology of Husserl and
Schutz, and the hermeneuticsof Dilthey (Fontana 1980).
EVERYDAYLIFE 223
pain and provide viable meaningsfor their experience. The Last Frontier, by
Fontana (1977), explored the emotional issues, loneliness, and existential
identity changes thatunderlieand renderinsignificantthe rationalmeaningof
growing old. In P. Adler's (1981) book, Momentum,he analyzedthe dynam-
ics and self-reinforcing excitement and depression caused by momentum-
infused individuals, groups, and masses. Last, a series of articlesthat address
the existential self in society are noteworthy:Altheide (1984) on the aggran-
dized natureof the media self; Ferraro& Johnson (1984) on the victimized
self of the organizational member, and Warren & Ponse (1977) on the
stigmatized, conflictful, and dramaturgicalnatureof the gay self.
OrganisticlVoluntaristic
The first of these approachesfocuses on the organic foundationof emotion.
Emotions are consideredto exist apartfrom and priorto introspectionand are
motored by instinct rather than by cognition. Social experiences trigger
emotions that derive from inner sources. This is, thus, a conception of
behavior which emphasizes individuals' inner-directedcharacter. Its prac-
titioners build from this base to show how individuals' emotions ultimately
work upwardto reconfirm, maintain,and change society and social structure
(Franks 1985, Hochschild 1983).
Using an organic perspective, Kemper (1978) has emphasized how the
power and/orstatusinherentin social relationshipsinfluence body chemistry.
Scheff (1979) proposed a "need theory" of emotional catharsis where in-
dividualsundergoarousal,climax, and the resolutionof feeling states through
a biological reflex sequence. Hochschild's (1983) work on airlinestewardess-
es has attemptedto show that emotions are an organicallybased sixth sense
that serve, as Freud (1923) first suggested, a critical signal function. The
work of the existential sociologists (see Douglas 1977 and Johnson 1977 for
their programmaticstatementson emotions), too, falls into this approach,as
EVERYDAY LIFE 225
Constructionist
The second everydaylife approachto the studyof emotions does not rule out a
biological component but focuses instead on how these physiological pro-
cesses are molded, structured,and given meaning. Emotions do not exist
independentof everyday life experiences, they argue; rather, these experi-
ences call out, modulate, shape, andultimatelycreatefeelings. These arethen
labeled, assessed, and managed through and by interaction. Structuraland
cultural factors influence the feeling and interpretationof various emotions
due to the way they constrainpossibilities and frame situations(Franks1985,
Hochschild 1983).
Constructionistanalysts include Goffman (1967), who discussed the link
between situationsand institutionsandproposedthatemotions are determined
by the rules and micro acts thatcomprise situations.Hochschild(1979, 1983)
discussed the types of "feeling rules" which are structurallymandatedonto
interactions and relationshipsthrough social guidelines. People then try to
make their feelings coincide with these rules by doing cognitive, bodily, or
expressive "emotions work." Emotion work can become commercialized
when it is co-opted by business, leading to a "commoditizationof feeling."
Shott (1979) focused on role-takingemotions, suggesting that our empathy
for the feelings of others is a mechanismensuringthe maintenanceof social
order and social control. Her discussion of the social processes common to
diverse emotional experiences also accentuatedstructurallyderived display
rules. Gordon's (1981) approachto emotions focused on sentiments, learned
in enduringsocial relationships,whose differentiation,socialization, manage-
ment, and normativeregulationare structurallydictated. Building on Hoch-
schild, Heiss (1981) discussed "emotion rules" which are shaped through
interaction by individuals' definitions of the situation, role-taking, self-
concepts, and self-presentations,leading to the formationof "emotionroles"
[i.e. Clark'sdiscussion of sympathizers(1987)]. Averill (1980) proposedthat
during states of heightened emotional arousal we experience passivity and
enact socially prescribed behavior. Zurcher (1982, 1985) and L. Lofland
(1985) have suggested that emotions are scripted by structural and in-
teractionalcontexts. Finally, Denzin (1984) has suggested that emotions are
shapedthroughthe direct experienceof practicalactivities in the processes of
the obdurate social world. In sum, understandingemotions enriches our
perspective on the actor's voluntarismand illustratesfurtherone means by
which society motivates individuals to conform to its rules.

CONVERSATIONANALYSIS
Conversation analysis is a method of data gathering and analysis that is
informed by the theoretical beliefs of ethnomethodology. Like other
ethnomethodologists,conversationanalysts have largely abandonedthe ear-
lier ethnomethodologicalconcernwith studyingthe contextualparticularityof
subjective meaningsbecause endless indexicalityrefutedany intersubjectivity
and became "a phenomenologically inspired but sociologically aimless
empiricism"(Zimmerman1979:384). Drawingon ParsonsthroughGarfinkel
and DurkheimthroughGoffman (Heritage 1985), conversationanalysts have
embraceda structuralinterestthat makes them more closely aligned with and
acceptable to the interests of positivist mainstreamsociologists (see Boden
1986; Collins 1981a,b).5
Conversation analysts study language because they regard "naturallan-
guage" as an everyday-life social system that is (a) external, existing priorto
and independentlyof any speaker,and (b) constraining,obligatoryratherthan
preferential in its framing. Natural language as a "mode of doing things"
(Austin 1961, Wittgenstein 1953) is thus reviewed as an interactionalobject,
a widespread,general, abstractsystem thatis both immediate(situational)and
transcendent(transsituational).As such, it exhibits the objective propertiesof
a Durkheimiansocial fact (Zimmerman1979).
Conversationanalysts are concerned with both the competencies and the
structureunderlyingordinary,everydaysocial activities. They thereforestudy
the productionof naturallanguage in situ, as it occurs spontaneouslyin the
everyday world. They regard conversationas both context-shapedand con-
text-renewing, influenced by and contributingto the context shaped by in-
teraction. Disdaining "premature"theory construction,they have focused on
tape recording minute, detailed "instances":the raw, primarydata of actual
conversation (Heritage 1984, 1985, Schegloff 1980, Schegloff & Sacks
1973).
In their studies, conversation analysts began by concentratingon action
sequences of talk. An interestin turns-within-sequencesdeveloped out of the
early work of Sacks et al (1974) on the management of conversational
turn-taking.It was soon discoveredthatsuch structuralanalyses of talk served
as a guideline for interpersonalinteractionand its analysis.
Furtherconversation analysis has focused on a number of topics. First,
Sacks, Schegloff, and others continuedto investigate turn-taking,observing
the recurrenceof the question-responseformat they termed the "adjacency
pair" (Schegloff 1968, Schegloff & Sacks 1973), "preferenceorganization"
CRITIQUESAND ASSESSMENTS
The critiques of everyday life sociology are legion. Researchguided by this
perspective has been condemned as astructuralor acontextual(Coser 1975,
Gouldner 1970, Horowitz 1971, Reynolds & Reynolds 1973, Zeitlen 1973),
incapable of addressingpolitical factors (Gouldner 1970), ahistorical(Bern-
stein 1976, Gouldner 1970, Ropers 1973, Smith 1973, Zeitlen 1973), and
generallytrivial in its focus and findings (Coser 1975, Gellner 1975), to name
the major ones.
While several of these critiques may have been accurateduring the early
years of the field, there have been movements in the last decade to address
these criticisms. The area where the greatest advances have been made is
structuralanalysis. Some practitionershave addressed the topics of social
organization and social structuredirectly, theorizing about the macro im-
plications of micro models of interaction and communication (Hall 1986;
Maines 1977, 1982; Maynard& Wilson 1980; Schegloff 1987). Otherevery-
day life sociologists have studied specific organizations or industries and
writtenabouttheir structuralcharacteristics(Denzin 1977, Farberman1975).
Last, researchinto the structureand contentof organizationalculturehas been
fruitful (Fine 1984, Rohlen 1974, Schein 1983, Van Maanen 1973).
The political arenahas also attractedincreasedattentionfrom everydaylife
sociologists. Some researchers have addressed organizational or govern-
mentalpower andpolitics (Clegg 1975; Hall 1972, 1985; Kinsey 1985; Klatch
1987; Molotch & Boden 1985), while others have focused on inter-

FUTURE
Everyday life sociology is at a crossroads. It has a rich heritage of making
valuable theoretical, epistemological, and substantivecontributionsto social
science. It also has continuingpotentialto fill lacunaein empiricalknowledge
and conceptualunderstandingof the everyday world. It has a secure foothold
in the discipline as an establishedalternativeapproach.Everydaylife sociol-
ogy is routinely published by university presses, its own journals, and to a
lesser degree, by mainstreamjournals. Last, some of its subfields have lost
their cultlike isolation and become increasinglyintegratedinto the discipline.
Yet several dangerslie ahead. First, the field must continueto advancenew
perspectives on substantive, epistemological, and theoretical issues rather
than merely applyingexisting ones. Second, with the imminentretirementof
many of its founders, leadershipmust emerge from within its ranks. Third,
there is a near absence of research centers with the critical mass of faculty
necessary to train the next generationof everyday life sociologists. Without
this regenerativecapacity, everyday life sociology may have a limited future
and faces a bankruptcythatthreatensnot only itself but the insight it bringsto
the entire discipline.
