An interesting ethnomethologically-inspired paper on doing ‘doing nothing’: “We analyse how members encounter and negotiate people apparently ‘doing nothing’ and provide a granular description of the bodily practices (gesture, gaze, modes of walking) employed in noticing, and adopting what we call an ‘audiencing’ stance towards people momentarily standing motionless.”https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0038026120940616#bibr6-0038026120940616

”We recommend breaching experiments as fascinating #sociological methods and fruitful pedagogic interventions […] breaching experiments can afford profitable ways of simultaneously doing and teaching #sociology with nothing; or, rather, very little, and perhaps not much more than a creative, mischievous or anarchic spirit.” I always loved teaching using Garfinkel’s original breach experiments.
