With these understandings in hand, you can be confident and crafty, meaning to have good craftsmanship, in adopting analytical strategies that best fit your theoretical leanings and research interests in a particular project. There is considerable freedom and even fun to be found in eclecticism. We write as sociologists. This means that throughout the book, we are inevitably drawn to strategies that speak to one of the central concerns of our home discipline: the relationship of the individual to society, what is sometimes called the micro–macro link or the relation of agency to structure.
We slice the pie of talk differently from linguists. Some linguists would say all naturally occurring, non-hypothetical talk is discourse. Therefore they would say that conversation analysis falls under the discourse analysis umbrella rather than being separate from it. Sociologists, however, see discourse as encompassing naturally occurring talk, scripted talk, text, practices, ideology, and power and, for this reason, distinguish conversation analysis, which is solely about talk, from discourse.
Kennedy shows how oral histories with lesbian narrators can both establish a fact about the past, such as that a working-class lesbian community had been publicly visible in Buffalo, New York in the 1930s, and reveal how narrations were configured by the myth that no one could have been openly homosexual in the US until the 1969 Stonewall demonstrations. While realist historians treat memories as though they are retrieved from some haphazard, corruptible archive of the brain, constructionists’ understandings of memory align with more recent work in cognitive psychology, in which the act of remembering is posited to entail a creative process of reconstruction, carried out by a generative, ever-changing brain in response to circumstance and social context (Brockmeier, 2010).
