Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, August 2. Methodological Issues in Conversation Analysis. Conversation Analysis, a research tradition that grew out of ethnomethodology, has some unique methodological features. It studies the social organization of 'conversation', or 'talk- in- interaction', by a detailed inspection of tape recordings and transcriptions made from such recordings. Ten Have describes some of those features in the interest of exploring their grounds. Originally published in the Bulletin de Méthodologie Sociologique, Nr. June): 2. 3- 5. 1.

The Sociology of knowledge studies the social sources, forms and consequences of knowledge. Central questions are: how does social organization shapes both the content and structure of knowledge? Or, how do various social, cultural, political conditions shield people from truth? The sociology of knowledge is a weapon against prevalent myths and a method for eliminating bias from social science, so that it can master the fundamental public problems of the time. Crawford, T.

He concludes with a suggestion for how this movement from page to digital display might inform the administrative changes forced upon the university by the current shortage of money.
