(2010): Immanent Non-Algorithmic Rules: An Ontological Study of Social Rules. In: Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour 40 (3), S. 289-313. DOI: 10.1111/j.1468-5914.2009.00426.x
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-5914.2009.00426.x Abstract: The notion of rule seems to be almost as contested as it is central to the social sciences. Whereas classic works of sociology tend to consider rules as a central concept of sociological analysis (Durkheim 1982/1894; Giddens 1984; 1979; Parsons 1964/1951; Weber 1978/1922), ethnomethodologists criticize their taken‐for‐grantedness and propose rather to view the continuous reproduction of rules as a problematic topic of enquiry (Douglas 1971; Garfinkel 1967; Heritage 1984; Zimmerman 1971). As Garfinkel puts it: [functionalist] social science theorists . . . have used the fact of standardization to conceive the character and consequences of actions that comply with standardized expectancies. Generally they have acknowledged but otherwise neglected the fact that by these same actions persons discover, create and sustain this standardization.

(2007): REVISITING RULES. AN ONTOLOGICAL STUDY OF SOCIAL RULES. In: Academy of Management Proceedings (1), S. 1-6. DOI: 10.5465/ambpp.2007.26530294
DOI: https://doi.org/10.5465/ambpp.2007.26530294 Abstract: The article discusses the concept of rules as used in sociological studies, focusing on the categorization of types of rules and addressing an ethnomethodological debate over whether rules can be usefully distinguished from actions. An argument using retroductive reasoning is presented and an explanation of the salient features of retroduction are provided. The concept of rules as immanent and implicit or tacit within actions is discussed and contrasted with an algorithmic rules paradigm. An illustration involving improvised jazz music is provided.
