CULTURE
"I am careful to say 'let it come' because if the other is precisely what is not
invented, the initiative or deconstructive inventiveness can consist only in
opening, in uncloseting, in destabilising foreclusionary structures, so as to
allow for the passage toward the other" Jacques Derrida (1989) "Psyche:
Inventions of the Other" in Lindsay Waters & Wlad Godzich [Eds] (1989)
Reading De Man Reading (University of
Minnesota Press, p.60)
"Overviews the different traditions in constructionist thought. Points are
illustrated throughout with varied and engaging 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. Ranging across the social and
human sciences, this book provides a lucid introduction to several key strands
of work that have overturned the way we think about facts and descriptions,
including: the sociology of scientific knowledge; conversation analysis and
ethnomethodology; and semiotics, post-structuralism and postmodernism."
Representing Reality: Discourse, Rhetoric and Social Construction

- religion is a human activity and a part of culture;
- to study religion requires us to explore what humans do,
through a variety of methodologies, including studies of texts,
societies, history and culture;
- exploring the ways in which religion is done involves
looking at issue such as gender, ethnicity, politics and other
social aspects of difference;
- to understand the contemporary world, we need to try to
understand how religion is significant to many people --
religion is a key element in many cultural and political issues.
