Discursive Research in Practice cover

The first text to promote a newly developed method of discursive research in practice.

The first text to promote a new method of discursive research in practice developed by combining conversation analysis with the fresh treatment of epistemology, mind, cognition and personality developed in discursive psychology. Written for graduates and academics interested in discursive psychology, discourse analysis and social and critical psychology.Over the past few decades new ways of conceiving the relation between people, practices and institutions have been developed, enabling an understanding of human conduct in complex situations that is distinctive from traditional psychological and sociological conceptions. This distinctiveness is derived from a sophisticated analytic approach to social action which combines conversation analysis with the fresh treatment of epistemology, mind, cognition and personality developed in discursive psychology. This text is the first to showcase and promote this new method of discursive research in practice. Featuring contributions from a range of international academics, both pioneers in the field and exciting new researchers, this book illustrates an approach to social science issues that cuts across the traditional disciplinary divisions to provide a rich participant-based understanding of action.
