Includes Bibliographical References (p. 225-241) And Indexes. Gendered Discourses examines different gendered 'ways of seeing the world' and how our identity may be constructed through the use of different discourses, whether written or spoken. Jane Sunderland demonstrates how gendered discourses can be identified and 'named' and presents a number of her own and others' empirical studies of salient gendered discourse settings, including the classroom, popular media, parenting magazines, children's literature and formal and informal talk. The first part of the book prepares the ground, setting the options out in some detail; the second part presents new studies of gendered discourses; and the third part addresses the important questions of 'damaging' discourses and intervention in discourse. In integrating a strong theoretical interest with many researched examples, Jane Sunderland offers upper-level students and researchers a comprehensive, coherent and stimulating new perspective on the study of gender and language Front Matter....Pages i-x Front Matter....Pages 1-4 Discourse, Discourse Analysis and Gender....Pages 5-26 Discourses, Discourse Identification and Discourse Naming....Pages 27-50 Some Gendered Discourses Identified to Date....Pages 51-69 Front Matter....Pages 71-78 Gendered Discourses in the Classroom....Pages 79-100 Fatherhood Discourses in Parenting Magazines....Pages 101-121 Celebrity Fatherhood: The ‘Blair Baby’....Pages 122-140 Gendered Discourses in Children’s Literature....Pages 141-164 Front Matter....Pages 165-168 The Discoursal Construction of Gender....Pages 169-190 ‘Damaging Discourses’ and Intervention in Discourse....Pages 191-215 Conclusion....Pages 216-217 Back Matter....Pages 218-248 Annotation This advanced textbook critically reviews a range of theoretical and empirical work on gendered discourses, and explores how gendered discourses can be identified, described and named.
