Tseëlon presents an ambitious analysis of gender display that draws upon historical, empirical, psychoanalytic and cultural studies approaches. WiLkinson and Kitzinger offer discussions of empirical work (e.g. on sexual harassment) and considerations of discourse analysis as theory and method. The works address and exemplify the tensions between language as discourse and as situated utterance, and between relativism and commitment to political change. Reflexivity and the status of the extra-discursive emerge as central issues in the dialogue between postmodernist feminist psychology and discourse analysis.
