'Social theory is a field in turmoil, some of which is highly productive and interesting. The papers in this volume represent some of the best of the turmoil. They reflect anew on the Durkheimian question of what sociological objects are in terms of the challenge posed by ethnomethodology and by changes in the social itself.'
