Conversational Realities: Constructing Life through Language (Inquiries in Social Construction series) - Softcover
Synopsis
This imaginative and original book challenges the traditional scientific view that naturally occurring psychological and sociological `realities′ are to be discovered underlying appearances. Instead, it claims that such orderly realities are both socially constructed and sustained within the context of people′s disorderly, everyday conversational activities.
John Shotter′s interdisciplinary analysis highlights the socially contested but imaginary nature of many of the `things′ we talk about in social life and illuminates the processes of their construction. He offers a broad-ranging exploration of the rhetorical, argumentative nature of conversational communication, using examples from psychotherapy, management and everyday life.

From the Back Cover
`[An] immensely thoughtful, informative and persuasive treatment of the "rhetorical-responsive version of social constructionism" via an eclectic blend of, principally, European and American linguistics, philosophy and social psychology... Shotter's book is most important for continuing the work begun by Billig and others bringing recognition via recollection to the rhetorical corpus' - Discourse & Society
