Setting out to understand “indexicality” and its significance in Ethnomethodology, it is first necessary to trace the history of the ideas of Harold Garfinkel. From his early commitment to find “order” in his Harvard dissertation, Garfinkel finds himself in California defending Parsons’ Structural Functionalism while confronting Goffman and Symbolic Interactionism, based in Simmelian, Schützian Sociology. From the audience of students shared with Goffman, Garfinkel puts aside the “situation” of Symbolic Interaction in favour of a process, “Indexicality”, abandoning theorising in favour of ethnomethodology as the means to understand “order*”. This paper, then, demonstrates how indexicality works and proposes completing the tasks that Garfinkel set out in the Studies to disclose the taken-for-granted, the left out, bounded by caveats like No-Time-Out and For-all-practical purposes.

着手理解“索引性”及其在民族方法学中的意义，首先有必要追溯哈罗德·加芬克尔思想的历史。从他早期在哈佛论文中寻求“秩序”的承诺开始，加芬克尔发现自己在加利福尼亚州为帕森斯的结构功能主义辩护，同时与基于 Simmelian 和 Schützian 社会学的戈夫曼和符号互动主义对抗。在与 Goffman 分享的学生观众中，Garfinkel 将符号交互的“情境”放在一边，支持一个过程，即“索引性”，放弃理论化而支持民族方法学作为理解“秩序*”的手段。然后，这篇论文展示了索引是如何工作的，并建议完成加芬克尔在研究中提出的任务，以揭示理所当然的、被遗漏的、
