Discursive Practices: Used by members of a profession to shape events in the domains subject to their professional scrutiny. Includes coding schemes, highlighting, and graphical representations.
Coding Scheme: Transforms the world into the categories and events that are relevant to the work of the profession.
Making a classification of something (eg: Putting a section of clothes as t-shirts, another as sweaters).
Highlighting: Dividing a domain of scrutiny into a figure and a ground so that events relevant to the activity of the moment stand out.
Ways of shaping now only one’s own perception but also that of others. (eg: This paper)
Graphical Representations: External representations of distinctive characteristics of the material world to organize phenomena.
Basically, the process of how professional vision comes to be.
This includes the theories, artifacts, and bodies of expertise that distinguish it from other professions.
Domain of Scrutiny: An area of interest in the context of the work practices.
Object of Knowledge: Emerges through the interplay between a domain of scrutiny and a set of discursive practices.
Contested Vision: Perceptions that are not treated as idiosyncratic phenomena but as socially organized perceptual frameworks shared within the police profession.
Example given in class about Rodney King. Police have a certain view at which they can convince others during trial that what they did was professionally appropriate.

Good summary. But it got me thinking. The boxes and arrows-model here: Is it your interpretation of Goodwins paper or have you borrowed it from somewhere? And also: what actually happen on the arrows?
