Over the last decade or so discursive psychology has developed as a distinct
perspective within social psychology, psychology and social science more generally
(Edwards, 1997; Edwards & Potter, 1992; Potter & Edwards, 2001). One of the
things that differentiates it from other approaches is its conceptualisation of
psychology itself. Most social psychological takes as at least a central topic an inner
representation or processing system of some kind. This is true of social cognition
work, of social representations research, and of many strands of newer approaches to
subjectivity. Inner representations and processes are seen as central to
understanding human action. This paper is not intended to criticise this view; rather
it will further develop a discursive psychological alternative.
