Discourse and Identity
'Identity' is a central organizing feature of our social world. This book defines identity in its broadest sense, in terms of how people display who they are to each other. Across the social sciences and humanities, it is increasingly treated as something that is actively and publicly accomplished in discourse.
The authors describe and demonstrate a range of discourse and interaction analytic methods as they are put to use in the study of identity, including 'performative' analyses, conversation analysis, membership categorization analysis, critical discourse analysis, narrative analysis, positioning theory, discursive psychology and politeness theory. The book Each chapter examines a different discursive environment in which people do 'identity work' everyday conversation, institutional settings, narrative and stories, commodified contexts, spatial locations, and virtual environments.
