Gender Talk "presents a powerful case for the application of discursive psychology to feminism, guiding the reader through cutting-edge debates and providing valuable evidence of the benefits of discursive methodologies. In particular, the book concentrates on discourse and conversation analysis, providing a full account of these methodologies through the detailed study of data from a variety of sources including focus group discussions and interviews. Providing a thorough review of the relevant literature and recent research, "Gender Talk" "demonstrates how discourse and conversation analysis can be applied to rework central feminist notions and concepts, ultimately revealing their full potential and practical relevance to other disciplines. Each chapter provides an overview of traditional feminist research and, with examples, a conversation and discourse analysis of it, covers subjects including: * sex differences in language: conversation and interruption* reformulatingcontext, power and asymmetry* gender identity categories: masculinity and femininity. This unique and thought-provoking treatment of the application of discursive methodologies will be of interest to students and researchers in social psychology, gender studies and cultural studies.
