Subject: [Research-info] Critical Discursive Social Psychology - 2 day workshop with visiting scholar Assistant Professor Nikos Bozatsis


Critical discursive social psychology: Bringing together micro- and macro-analytic orientations in discourse analytic work
Dr. Nikos Bozatsis, University of Ioannina
10am-12.30pm, Thursday, 14 and 21 May, 2015, Footscray Park, Room P134

The turn to discourse in social psychology, since its inception more than 25 years ago (cf. Augoustinos, 2012), has been encompassing a productive tension: micro- and macro- modalities of analytic orientation have been developed and deployed, producing alternative, non-reductionist takes in empirical social psychological work. While in recent years these two modalities, more often than not, have been developing in parallel but separately, this has not always been the case. In this workshop I draw on the eclectic methodological framework discussed by Wetherell (1998; see, also, Edley, 2001), which suggests a theoretical and empirical merging of micro- and macro- perspectives as most appropriate for a discourse analytic social psychology. In this workshop, using textual examples, I will introduce and clarify basic key notions within the discursive turn in social psychology (e.g. action orientation and reflexivity of language in its use), and then drawing on Margaret Wetherell’s and Nigel Edley work, I will proceed to demonstrate the contours of critical discursive social psychology, by discussing the key concepts: rhetorical / ideological dilemmas, interpretative repertoires and subject positions / positioning.


Nikos Bozatzis (Ptychion Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, M.Sc. & Ph.D. Lancaster University) is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Philosophy, Education and Psychology, University of Ioannina, Greece.
