Representing Reality

"This is an admirable book which can be recommended to students with confidence, and is likely also to become an indispensable source of reference for those researching fact construction"--Discourse & Society. How is reality manufactured? The idea of social construction has become a commonplace of much social research, yet precisely what is constructed, and how, and even what constructionism means, is often unclear or taken for granted. In this major work, Jonathan Potter offers a fascinating tour of the central themes raised by these questions.

  • "The idea of social construction has become a commonplace of much social research, yet precisely what is constructed, and how, and even what constructionism means, is often left murky or taken for granted. Potter offers a tour of the central themes raised by these questions. The points are illustrated throughout with examples taken from newspaper stories, relationship counselling sessions, accounts of the paranormal, social workers' assessments of violent parents, informal talk between programme makers, political arguments and everyday conversations. Covering work by Bloor, Collins, Knorr Cetina, Latour, Mulkay, Schaffer, Shapin and Woolgar, Garfinkel, Jefferson, Heritage, Pollner, Pomerantz, Sacks, Schegloff, Smith and Wooffitt, Barthes, Derrida, Foucault, Haraway, Lyotard, Rorty and Saussure. This book moves beyond an account of major themes and developments to address questions lying at the root of all social research."@en
