On living social discourse, embodiment and culture: the potential of a broadened conception of discursive psychology

In reply to Cresswell’s article, I will comment on his suggestion to broaden discursive psychology studies on refugees, race and ethnicity by (a) an ethnomethodological perspective including broader social discourses and (b) a phenomenological perspective including immediate experience. I will argue how such a dialogical approach is crucial for the understanding of human psychological functioning and can also be fruitfully applied to other areas of psychology such as early child development.
