Earlier focus on social action ,interaction..two dimensions either structural influence or the influence of human consciousness.
what ethnomethodologist do..they analyze the minutes aspects of these social praxis ..whta garfinkel saw was that everyday life and daily experinces cannot be defined merely through structures and institution or for that matter through goffmans interaction..lets suppose u go to a doctor and talks about problems or say cricketer and ..how they perceive the problem how it is conveyed ..how other party reacts and responds..so u can see here goes continuous cycle of social action or interaction takes context becomes signification and its always locally produced in every specific situation by previous moves ,action or line of the actor and reflexively each move will either sustains i.e for eg in you initiation of Hello if i say Hi..or if doctor ask how are you and i said not good or alters the local context like if u say hello i say u will get highest marks in sociology it seems then it has altered the context now that shapes the significance of the next move...
So if i can sum up we can say its like they believed that beyond structures beyond consciousness there is something more fundamental which is concerned with how people make sense of their circumstances and act on them....now u can see like others like structuralist or intreactionists they do not see social order is given ....they tend to enquire about it..they believed sense making is the starting point of everything that is possible in ths world.so they analyze how this act of sense making ,and its contribution as an input in social action or structures.
one last thing this act of sense making is done methodically using procedures people share in local context ..and since the methods are shared by the members of culture and sub cultures..thts the reasons Garfinkel called them ethnomethods and its study as ethnomethodology..so what i explained above is what ethnmethodologist try to understand and through these socially shared ethnomethods.
How it is different from symbolic interaction-ism because there also we use symbol, language to relate to the meaning of human reaction in response to any external stimuli.
Though i have mentioned it in my answer to your question but let me make it specific if i can..
see the basic point is that since both try to make sense of our daylife events and cirumstances..but the point is where does the basis for understanding lies...for phenomenology ..its focus is more upon psychological or cognitive component while making reasoning whereas for ethnomethodology the basis is sociological..how..bcoz Garfinkel stress on the fact that in analyzing the action people make joint sense of their social world together hence for him the real world is created through the interactional skill or intrepretative skill of the social actors together and they do so methodically.and thats the reason its ethnomethod

+1 agreed. Symbolic interactionism and Ethnomethodology are both branches of interactionism and only difeer slightly.
I have a question though, Can it be said that in case of 'khap rules on marriage in haryana' ,ethnomethodological approach will study about people's accepted khap marriage norms and the good-bad meanings they attach to certain kind of marriage while symbolic interactionism would be intrested in knowing how a persons decisions and perception about other persons will change due to habing been raised in such society ,for example,say,adopting a tabood approach toward love marriages.

Will try or better depending on no. of persons contributing we can develop a system ie. Each of us take turns in posting others answer and try to review one unreviewd answers ....so that each answer get atleast one review.One can post their query related to the topic and discussion can follow.Initially we will restrict ourselves to previous year questions. All this won't cost any one person much time ...and all of us can gain multiple perspectives to the topic which is much needed in current scheme of things.
