Böcker av Jonathan Potter

First published in 1984, Social Texts and Context illustrates the ways in which familiar psychological concepts ¿ femininity, the environment, groups, the self ¿ are constructed in discourse.

"daily photographs of the sun, with accompanying six-line poems"--

How is reality manufactured? The idea of social construction has become a commonplace of much social research, yet precisely what is constructed, and how, and even what constructionism means, is often unclear or taken for granted. This work offers a tour of the central themes raised by these questions.

Provides an introduction to the theory and application of discourse analysis within the field of social psychology. This book includes chapters on the theoretical roots of discourse analysis in linguistic philosophy, ethnomethodology and semiotics and an overview on the perspectives of discourse analysis and its utility in studying attitudes.
