This introduction to discursive psychology uses discourse analytic terms to examine some of psychology's most fundamental concepts. Taking memory and attribution, central notions in cognitive and social psychology respectively, the book shows the way that their compartmentalization and their failure to theorize adequately about the way language is used in everyday social practices has led to important weaknesses. "Discursive Psychology" reformulates these central issues of language and mind as social practices realized in talk and text. The authors feature detailed discussion of recent political discourse with a particular focus on media disputes involving British Chancellor Nigel Lawson and ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher; this is supplemented with an exploration of examples from the Watergate tapes, the Iran Contra hearings, media coverage of the Gulf War, as well as informal everyday talk. The book is intended for academics and postgraduate students in cognitive and social psychology, communication studies, linguistics, cultural studies and sociology.
