Abstract
The growing recognition of ethnomethodology has come at the expense of one of its most original and promising initiatives - radical reflexivity. Although prominent in early ethnomethodological work, the recognition that all renderings of reality - including those of the social scientist-are contingent accomplishments has diminished in contemporary studies. I describe the emergence and fall of radical reflexivity within ethnomethodology, the processes contributing to its diminishing role, and the implications of the decline. Because radical reflexivity breaches the taken-for-granted practices of disciplines purporting to describe reality, it is a vital resource for ethnomethodology and sociology generally.
