Inequality in action
journal contribution
posted on 2013-02-06, 14:40 authored by Jonathan Potter, Alexa Hepburn, Cristian TileagaCristian TileagaThis paper highlights some of the issues that arise when focusing on
inequality (and similar notions) as participants’ concerns. It emphasises the
value of understanding constructions of inequality in terms of how they are (a)
oriented to action; (b) situated (sequentially, institutionally, rhetorically); and
(c) constructed from discursive resources and constructive of social and
mental worlds. These points are illustrated with an example from a call to a
child protection helpline. This illustrates how a particular description of
inequality can be oriented to action, constructed and situated. This is the
basis for some more general observations on the nature of inequality as an
object in interaction.
