"Positioning Gender in Discourse: A Feminist Methodology"
introduces a newly emerging approach to the analysis of talk.
Feminist Poststructuralist Discourse Analysis (FPDA) offers a means
of analyzing the ways in which speakers construct their gendered
identities within a complex web of power relations. The FPDA
approach challenges the traditional feminist view that females are
often disempowered within mixed-sex settings. The FPDA approach to
analyzing talk shows that both male and female speakers constantly
shift between positions of powerfulness and powerlessness--even
within the same conversation. The methodology is demonstrated
through a study of teenagers' conversations in class and a study of
senior managers' discussions in business meetings, concluding with
suggestions that while female speakers are often "silenced" by
dominant social discourses, they are far from being uniformly
powerless.
