- Description
- Conversation analysis (CA) has been criticised as being overly obsessed with the intricate details of conversation and bracketing off the wider socio-structural power relations in which conversation is embedded. Many scholars regard CA as a methodology that is incompatible with, and thus incapable of doing, critical work. This paper seeks to contribute to the methodological conversation by proposing a dual analytical methodology that merges understandings of talk from CA and critical discursive approaches, and attends to both the conversational (turn-by-turn) context as well as the discursive resources that inhabit talk. This is accomplished through a triangulatory activity that takes different conceptualizations of ‘context’ into consideration and investigates how subject positions are worked up on a micro- (turnby-turn) and macro-level. The authors illustrate this approach using institutional talk collected at a UK diabetes clinic and from interviews investigating how employers talk about their domestic workers in South Africa.
