Abstract
This paper reports on an aspect of the social organization of interaction, namely, the use by interactants of the concept "role. " In contrast with traditional social scientific uses of the concept as an explanatory resource in the analysis of social action, I propose that interactants use this concept to make sense of--as well as accomplish-actions and activities in the social world. Analysis of segments of conversation taken from videotapes of the Iran-Contra Congressional hearings demonstrate this as well as the more general point that description is a form of social action.
