Abstract
The paper aims to realise the critical potential of the practice lens by contributing to the
development of a coherent set of methodologies for investigating work and
organisational activity. It does so by introducing and critically assessing the "interview
to the double" as a method to articulate and represent practice.
After briefly illustrating its history and usage, the paper analyses in depth the setting
generated by this unusual interview method. It argues that the nature of the encounter
produces narratives that are often morally connoted and idealised in character. As a
consequence the method is especially useful to capture the going concerns which orient
the conduct of the members and the normative and moral dimension of practice. The
paper also shows that because it mimics familiar instruction-giving discursive practices,
the method constitutes an effective textual device to convey this moral and normative
dimension in a way which remains faithful to its situated and contingent nature of
practice.
