Originally published in 1999, this book sets out to develop a
distinctive, critical approach to the study of social consciousness
through empirical studies of sociopolitical conflict in the west of
Scotland. It accords an analytical priority to language-use and
provides a critical review of a number of contemporary studies and
approaches as part of an emerging presentation of an original and
distinctive method. The book makes a significant contribution to
the recovery for social science of the achievements of a set of
Marxist psychologists and philosophers of language - most notably
L.S. Vygotsky and V.N. Voloshinov - whose potential relevance for
political sociology has barely been recognised. It tests and
demonstrates the relevance of the approach it seeks to develop in
relation to empirical studies - most notably the Upper Clyde
Shipbuilders 'work-in' of 1971-72 and the Scottish Office-led urban
policy 'Partnership' in Ferguslie Park, Paisley in the late 1980s
and early 1990s. Ultimately, the analytical focus on language
becomes a key component of a larger mode of social investigation
which begins from an analysis of changing patterns of language-use
- one which 'turns' to language without embracing the 'linguistic
turn'.
