A Critical Introduction to Psychology

(Tuis.) #1

178 Neill Korobov


discursive approach is to connect a bottom-up, fine-grained examination of
discursive action with an analysis of identity categories. Such an approach
is both theoretically progressive and analytically grounded. Although
psychologists will continue to connect identity to the rich and nuanced
sociocultural realm by using both a cognitivist and factors/variables
approach, the hope is that with a critical discursive view of identity,
psychologists will increasingly find ways to conceptualize and examine
identities as interactional phenomenon that are organized as part of the
social maintenance of relationships and daily life.
