社会的実践としてのテレビ番組視聴 : ある「事件報道」の視聴活動を事例として  [in Japanese] TV Program Watching as Socially Accomplished Practices : An Ethnomethodological Approach  [in Japanese]

The purpose of this paper is to explicate the activities that audience actually achieve in watching TV. In so doing, I would like to offer a new perspective for the study of mass communications. First, I reconsider the "text-reader" framework by which interpretive activities of audience have been studied. Second, by reference to research by D.Smith, I try to review this subject-object dichotomy. And last, I demonstrate how TV program-watching is actually organized as categorization practices. In conclusion, TV program watching is language-use activity or social activity.
