(Tarde) Laws of Sociology

Sunday, December 5, 2021 • Duration 20:46

This is epic. Love his trichotomy, and the discussion he concludes with. I.e. the emergence of the seemingly infinite from the infinitesimal, across all the natural and social sciences. Sounds like a call to the study of the heterogeneous and differentiated, outside the coordinated reduction of similarities (science).

Tuesday, July 20, 2021 • Duration 29:58

Can you predict this will lead to sociology in particular? I didn't...

(Garfinkel) What is ethnomethodology?

Saturday, July 3, 2021 • Duration 27:14

Garfinkel has a wordy, rather technical-sounding description of the study of the taken-for-granted, the made-practical, the reasonable, etc. It's those unseen practices for making actions, events, etc. normal-ish, that he wants to study. And because it is so normal, and so intentionally ignored, by the 60s it still had not been a subject of rigorous sociological work.

It's a classic, but also a headache. Good luck!
