<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Prof. Stokoe,<BR><BR>I am an Associate Professor of
Psychology at the Federal University of Rio <BR>de Janeiro, Brazil, and for
several years now I have been developing <BR>research in the area of discourse
and identity. I am very much interested <BR>in having your new book and
I would like to know how can I order a <BR>copy. Thank you very
much, Maria Lúcia Rocha-Coutinho.At 16:19 12/03/06 <BR>+0000, you

with a range of current theories and methods of discourse <BR>>analysis,
Discourse and Identity offers a critical overview of the ways in <BR>>which
researchers have approached the concept of identity. Benwell and
<BR>>Stokoe draw on an impressive variety of discourse contexts, from
ordinary <BR>>conversation among friends to magazine advertisements, from
online <BR>>interaction to talk about the neighbors. While Discourse and
Identity <BR>>illustrates a number of different approaches in depth,
including <BR>>discursive psychology, critical discourse analysis, and
several types of <BR>>narrative analysis, the book's particular strength is
in demonstrating the <BR>>techniques and advantages of ethnomethodology and
conversation analysis as <BR>>tools for illuminating the workings of
identity as an interactional <BR>>achievement. Students and scholars alike
will find the text a helpful <BR>>resource in navigating the broad field of

Stokoe have produced an indispensable guide for any student <BR>>or scholar
interested in discourse and identity. This is a deft and highly
<BR>>accessible overview of a complex emerging body of knowledge. The
authors <BR>>move confidently, with great panache, from social theory to
the micro <BR>>details of linguistic analysis, taking in the latest work on
spatial, <BR>>virtual and commodified identities along the way. A neat and
illuminating <BR>>example can be found on every page, along with an
important insight and an <BR>>original line of argument. Discourse and
Identity is the first scholarly <BR>>map of the field and is a 'must own
book' for every identity researcher."<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>Professor
