Praxiological analysis, as grounded in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, favours an approach to deliberation in parliamentary contexts which does not yield to awkward abstraction. Awkward abstraction idealizes deliberation through its nearly total withdrawal from the normal order and everyday frames of interaction. From this point of view, what happens within a parliamentary setting must be understood in reference to the broader mechanism of decision crafting. Praxiological analysis is especially capable to describe the specificity of practices which are situated, i.e. practices centred on a particular site, and at the same time embedded within a network where intersubjectively valid opinions are produced. This network is dialogical.
