“…The phenomenological study was conducted to understand the specific socio-cultural condition of Bawean Island collected through the relevant field data. By formulating phenomenology with the perspective of Alfred Schutz, this study sought to understand the behavior and actions performed by the girls and parents in the early marriage cases based on the in-order-to motive and the because-of motive (Hammersley, 2019). Schutz's theory states that phenomenology is interested in identifying problems from the meaningful sense experience, which occurs in individual consciousness separately and then collectively in the interaction between consciousnesses.…”

“…Schutz's theory states that phenomenology is interested in identifying problems from the meaningful sense experience, which occurs in individual consciousness separately and then collectively in the interaction between consciousnesses. It is a part where consciousness acts on raw sensory data to create meaning, in the same way that it sees something ambiguous from that distance (Hammersley, 2019). Schutz's phenomenology concept is based on the meaning of action developed by Max Weber (Tada, 2019).…”

“…So, Schutz stated that the meaning would be labeled by looking back at the preceded action. Thus, it can be concluded that the main problem explained by Schutz is a matter of subjective meaning in research combined with the Verstehen concept (an empathic understanding of human behavior), which leads to a motive action to be achieved or in-order-to motive (Hammersley, 2019).…”

The research aimed to interpret the perceptions of early marriage, the union of two people in which one or both are under 18 years of age, through a phenomenological approach. The analysis was performed using observation techniques along with participation in in-depth interviews supported with an inductive approach of documentation analysis. The results showed that the society in Bawean Island, Indonesia, perceived the need for early marriage of 15-16 years old girls as matchmaking, avoidance of the social sanction of fornication and out-of-wedlock pregnancy, and as an economical solution for parents to shift responsibility. The results further showed that matchmaking and the avoidance of fornication are significant motivators for early marriage. Also, it was found that early marriages caused adverse effects on the wife, husband, and children. The effects are related to cases of pregnancy complication for the wife and psychological stress for the husband. The effect on children born of the early marriage is mainly neonatal infant mortality. The solutions offered to support the population development target and decrease early marriage numbers are to improve access to health facilities and information for women, and overcome cultural and social norms by discussing the impacts of early marriage with social and religious figures and stakeholders. The research can be used by the National Population and Family Planning Board (Indonesia) to decrease the number of early marriages in society.

“…Instead, students of ethnomethodology are recommended to "misread" philosophical classics, i.e., to engage in practical phenomena in order to discover for themselves what philosophers and sociologists may be talking about as "real-worldly" events (Lynch, 1993: 117;. By contrast, the relationship between Garfinkel and Schütz has been the subject of quite extensive research (Heritage, 1984;Eberle, 1984Eberle, , 2008Eberle, , 2012Bergmann, 1988;Lynch, 1993Lynch, , 2004Dennis, 2004;Sharrock, 2004;Psathas, 1989Psathas, , 1999Psathas, , 2004Psathas, , 2009Psathas, , 2012Hammersley, 2019;Meyer, forthcoming).…”

“The Temporal ‘Succession’ of Here and Now Situations”: Schütz and Garfinkel on Sequentiality in Interaction

The article re-examines the relationship between the works of Alfred Schütz and Harold Garfinkel, focusing on their respective approaches to temporality in interaction. Although there are good reasons to emphasize the differences between Schütz’s notion of individual projects of action and Garfinkel’s interest in communicative sequencing, there is also an interesting historical connection. In order to elucidate this connection, the article provides a close reading of the steps that lead Schütz from his premise of ‘egological’ time consciousness to his understanding of the reflexive and interactive process of meaning establishment and interpretation developed in his first book, The Phenomenology of the Social World (1967 [1932]). The article reflects further upon which aspects of Schütz’s considerations resonated with Garfinkel in his formative years and how Garfinkel related to them variously in his later development of ethnomethodology. Hence, it appears that Garfinkel’s ethnomethodology successively departs from many of Schütz’s premises while simultaneously incorporating and further developing some of his notions on the sequential organization and temporal flux of interactive processes.

“…See also Wagner (1983b). Also relevant here is the question of the relationship between Schutz’s work and ethnomethodology: see Hammersley (2019) and Psathas (1999). Of particular relevance on this score is Ruggerone’s (1996, 2013) argument that Garfinkel’s approach is closer to that of Husserl than Schutz.…”

On Schutz’s conception of science as one of multiple realities

This article examines Alfred Schutz’s concept of ‘multiple realities’, and in particular, his portrayal of science as one of these realities. It is noted that, while this concept has been widely cited, it has often been interpreted in ways that are at odds with key features of Schutz’s original formulation. A careful assessment is made of the main article he wrote dealing with this topic, focusing on the respects in which the ‘multiple realities’ he discusses are held to differ. Particular attention is given to the relationship between science and what Schutz calls ‘the paramount reality’, that of ‘daily life’. It is suggested that there are some serious problems with the distinctions he makes and that these relate to an ambiguity in his position: that he starts from within phenomenological psychology, drawing on the work of Husserl and James, but moves in a more naturalistic and sociological direction in his account of ‘the world of daily life’. This raises some fundamental questions about the nature of phenomenology and its relationship to social science.
