Free eBooks Lectures On Conversation, Volumes I And II Available To Downloads
Volume I contains the lectures of Fall 1964 through Fall 1967, in which Sacks explores a great variety of topics, from suicide to children's games to Medieval Hell as a nemonic device to pronouns and paradoxes. But two key issues emerge: rules of conversational sequencing - central to the articulation of interaction, and membership categorization devices - central to the social organization of knowledge. This volume culminates in the extensive and formal explication of turn-taking which Sacks delivered in Fall, 1967. Volume II contains the lectures of Spring 1968 through Spring 1972. Again he touches on a wide range of subjects, such as the poetics of ordinary talk, the integrative function of public tragedy, and pauses in spelling out a word. He develops a major new theme: storytelling in converstion, with an attendant focus on topic. His investigation of conversational sequencing continues, and this volume culminates in the elegant dissertation on adjacency pairs which Sacks delivered in Spring, 1972.

This collection of lectures by the late Harvey Sacks will be useful and thought provoking for researchers and scholars in any of the social or human sciences. Sacks' wide-ranging intellect throws light on phenomena central to sociology, linguistics, anthropology, communication, and psychology. This volume is a comprehensive collection of Sacks' work, and a vital resource for social scientists
Gail Jefferson's immense effort has provided serious scholars with a wealth of insight into the thought of one of the 20th century's most original thinkers. Harvey Sacks developed both analytical insights and methods of the utmost brilliance, challenging the conventions of sociology in a manner closely aligned with the work of Harold Garfinkel. This collection of lectures provides an intimate encounter with a different way of understanding social interaction by restoring the "social" and the "interaction" to social inquiry. As the founder of Conversation Analysis, Sacks provided scholars with a way of investigating the mechanisms of sense making by attending the finely coordinated details of social interaction. All serious social scientists should own a copy of this work and read it carefully.
A real Bible of conversation analysis. It's a collection of lectures and you will be sorry not to have been there to listen Sacks.
