Abstract:

Understanding the role of language within the formation of a sense of self has
been revolutionised by developments in social theory, particularly
poststructuralism. There is now a new emphasis on the way in which subjects
are vulnerable in the face of powerful discourses such as nation, gender, race
and sexuality. This book is a clear and engaging introduction to these
developments and their relevance to students of language. Using lively and
often personal examples throughout, Tim McNamara explores the role of language
within processes of subjectivity using the insights of conversation analysis
(CA), creating an original conceptual and methodological bridge between the
macro- and micro-dimensions of social discourse and everyday conversational
interaction.
