The Montreal Massacre: A Story of Membership Categorization Analysis adopts an ethnomethodological viewpoint to analyze how the murder of women by a lone gunman at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal was presented to the public via media publication over a two-week period in 1989. All that the public came to know & underst& of the murders, the murderer, & the victims was constituted in the description & commentaries produced by the media. What the murders became, therefore, was an expression of the methods used to describe & evaluate them, & central to these methods was membership category analysis - the human practice of perceiving people, places, & events as "members" of "categories," & to use these to explain actions.
This is evident in the various versions comprising the overall story of the Massacre: it was a crime; it was a tragedy; it was a horror story. The killer's story is also based on his own categorial analysis (he said his victims were “feminists”). The media commentators formulated the significance of the murders in categorial terms: it implicated a wider problem, that of violence against women, & thus the reasons for the murders were shown to be categorial matters.
As a contribution to sociology, & as a demonstration of the significance of ethnomethodology for understanding social life, the book reveals the methodical & particularly categorial character of how sense is made of events such as this & how such methodical & categorial resources are central to human interaction.

・第7章 虐殺事件の機能――カテゴリーと論理的帰結（The Functions of the Massacre: Categories & Consequences）より
事件について語るようになった女性たちは，“男性が女性を犠牲にする社会問題の当事者”という装置の共-成員性（co-membership）によりモントリオール虐殺事件の適切な語り手となっているだけではない．それだけではなく，それらの諸機能の体系化も同じように適切となっているのだ．男性が女性を犠牲にする社会問題の一例としてのモントリオール虐殺事件にかんする報道や解説の組織化によって彼女たちが語るうえで適切な人物となっているだけではなく，何が語られる〔べき〕かも同様に適切なものとなるのだ．公的な厄災と個別の社会問題それ自体の双方，つまり“あらゆる人びと”の一員の哀惜・悲嘆・傷だけでなく，選別された語りの当事者の属性とされるような応答の類も含まれる，適切な表現と応答にとっての位置も提供する（124; 〔〕はコンテンツ作成者の加筆，原文イタリックはアンダーラインを付している）．
