Abstract

One of the main contributions of ethnomethodology has been the restitution of the reflexivity as a fundamental dimension to the comprehension of social practices. However, it is observable that this ethnomethodological postulate has been overestimated. Ethnomethodology has been understood as a reintegration of voluntarism and agency in opposition to social order theories. We consider that this interpretation is partial. In this article we propose that ethnomethodology does not only imply a restitution of the actor's role in the social, but a redefinition of the social as an autonomous dimension not reducible to others.
