This paper attempts to explore the practices of "talking on a mobile phone" through the ethnomethodological approach. Instead of paying attention to the influences of the prevalence of mobile phones, this paper focuses on the ongoing accomplishment of the practices of cellphone-using. This paper contends that the mobile phone users accomplish the practices of "talking on a mobile phone" continuously by methods such as "reading hermeneutically", "embodying", "the documentary method of interpretation", and "accounting reasonably", etc. Users not only take these methods for granted, but also see but unnoticed what they really do by these cellphoneusing practices. The practices identify and reproduce reflexively the structural influences brought by the prevalence of mobile phones while accomplishing the process of "talking on a mobile phone". |
