Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis (EM/CA) investigate social order as it is achieved through interactions in a local and endogenous way. To achieve this goal, conversationalists describe the coordination of interactions from the actors’ point of view, and analyze how individuals make the meaning of their actions intelligible to each other. These (inter)actions, which shed light on actors’ social relations, are recorded in a natural context and then transcribed through a recursive, reflexive and collective process of “making” that encourages researchers to question their own technical, practical, methodological, and theoretical choices until the publication of their results. After a brief presentation of EM/CA, I problematize some steps of the conversational method that display a strong imbrication between data production and scientific objectivation. I then conclude on the limits of these two processes in light of the current research policy.
