- Drawing upon conversational data collected over a period of 12 years from both ‘marginalised’ and ‘mainstream’ participants, the monograph offers new perspectives on conceptualising the interaction between the human body and the social body. It offers a new application of Critical Discourse Analysis, insightfully applying Systemic Functional Grammar to conversational texts to identify structures of social transformation. It situates the analysis within an original, highly readable commentary on social theory, including Judith Butler, Luce Irigaray and Michel Foucault. The work offers readers a methodology for developing new ideas about how social structures are shaped in the course of everyday life.
