The development of Garfinkel’s ‘Trust’ argument from 1947 to 1967: Demonstrating how inequality disrupts sense and self-making

Abstract: Garfinkel began developing his famous Trust argument, that a minimum of equality and reciprocity he called ‘Trust Conditions’ is a prerequisite for sense-making in interaction, while working with Parsons from 1946 to 1952. The argument grounds a social justice approach to social order and meaning with affinities to Durkheim’s ‘implicit conditions of contract’ and Du Bois’ ‘double consciousness’. Tracing the development of the Trust argument, we examine 14 unpublished PhD proposals from 1948 in which Garfinkel … Show more

“…The early work of the originator of ethnomethodology, Harold Garfinkel, focused on racial and gender inequality (1940,1949,1967) but his interest in race and social justice has been overlooked to a large degree until recently (Doubt, 1989;Rawls, 2002Rawls, , 2013Rawls & Duck, 2020;Turowetz & Rawls, 2019). His research on gender has been more well-known for some time.…”

“…To be clear, they are not saying that "demographic" Otherness and the stereotypes and exclusions it engenders aren't problems. The categories of race and gender lead to troubles in day-to-day interactions and it is in these that social expectations and order are assembled (Turowetz & Rawls, 2019).…”

“…Därmed uppmärksammar de inte verkligheten som en social konstruktion utan hanterar problem genom rättelser och anpassning . Garfinkel påpekar dock att personer i utsatta positioner kan ha en särskild känslighet för det arbete som krävs för att verkligheten ska upplevas som stabil, och en brist på basal tillit till det självklara i de egna upplevelserna (Garfinkel 1967:183;Turowetz & Warfield Rawls 2020) . Ett exempel ges i Sacks (1989) analys av samtal till ett centrum för suicidprevention i Los Angeles, i vilken han beskriver samtal från änkor och änklingar som hävdade att tiden tynger dem eftersom ingenting längre händer .…”

“…Contrary to the widespread belief that Garfinkel was apolitical and unconcerned with "structural problems" like inequality (cf. Coser, 1975;Coleman, 1968;Eglin, 2017), his work was always politically engaged: from his early focus on Race in the 1940's, to subsequent research on Mentally Ill, Red (Communist), Transgender, Sight-Impaired, and other marginalized categories Turowetz & Rawls, 2020;. 4 Those who expect research with a social justice focus to take a conventional form will have missed his politics.…”
