Timeline

1935

Harvey Sacks (July 19, 1935 – November 14, 1975) was an American sociologist influenced by the ethnomethodology tradition.

He pioneered extremely detailed studies of the way people use language in everyday life.

Despite his early death in a car crash and the fact that he did not publish widely, he founded the discipline of conversation analysis.

His work has had significant influence on fields such as linguistics, discourse analysis, and discursive psychology.

1960

Sacks became interested in the structure of conversation while working at a suicide counseling hotline in Los Angeles in the 1960s.

The calls to the hotline were recorded, and Sacks was able to gain access to the tapes and study them.

In the 1960s, prominent linguists like Noam Chomsky believed that conversation was too disorganized to be worthy of any kind of in-depth structural analysis.

Sacks strongly disagreed, since he saw structure in every conversation, and developed conversation analysis as a result.

Sacks's recorded lectures were transcribed (by Gail Jefferson who also edited them posthumously) but the tapes were not saved.

The duplicated copies of the transcribed lectures were made freely available by Sacks and achieved international circulation and recognition during his lifetime and subsequently.

He treated such topics as: the organization of person-reference; topic organization and stories in conversation; speaker selection preferences; pre-sequences; the organization of turn-taking; conversational openings and closings; and puns, jokes, stories and repairs in conversation among many others.

Emanuel Schegloff, one of Sacks's close collaborators, colleagues and co-authors, became his literary executor.

The subsequent handling of the literary estate (nachlass, to use the academic term) has attracted some controversy.

1964

He lectured at the University of California, Los Angeles and Irvine from 1964-1975.

Sacks's major work, Lectures on Conversation, is composed of edited revisions of transcribed lectures held from Spring 1964 through to 1972, and comprises about 1200 pages in a two-volume work published by Basil Blackwel in 1992.

This publication project was instigated largely by David Sudnow and Gail Jefferson, colleagues and students of Sacks at Berkeley, UCLA and Irvine, and includes an introduction by Emanuel Schegloff.

In her acknowledgements in these volumes, Jefferson mentioned the help of Sudnow in dealing with Sacks's literary estate.

The Harvey Sacks Memorial Association, registered as a not-for-profit Association, was formed by Sudnow.

These Lectures have been important for Sacks's later influence and for the field of Conversation Analysis.

Sudnow was a follower of Alfred Schutz in phenomenology, and Harold Garfinkel in ethnomethodology.

Sudnow regards the work of Sacks as outside the ethnomethodological mainstream.

By contrast Garfinkel lists Sacks as one of 'Ethnomethodology's Authors'

1966

Sacks received his doctoral degree in sociology at the University of California, Berkeley (1966), an LL.B. at Yale Law School (1959), and a B.A. at Columbia College (1955).

1975

In 1975 Sacks died in a car accident.

He was survived by his wife, two siblings, and his parents.
