(Mis)constructing social construction
This article aims to review the main criticisms of social construction (SC) after its formalization as a “movement” in the social sciences. The critiques are organized into six dominant areas that define the relationship between SC and reality, truth, language, human nature, scientific enterprise, and society. For each one of these categories, the more frequent objections raised over time by scholars will be outlined and counterarguments will be …
O discurso construcionista social na prática clínica de terapeutas familiares
O campo da terapia familiar (TF) é composto por diferentes propostas teóricas e epistemológicas. Recentemente, o construcionismo social tem contribuído para a configuração de novas práticas em TF, levando a uma maior ênfase nos processos de comunicação no contexto terapêutico. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar a difusão do construcionismo entre terapeutas familiares brasileiros. Participaram 14 terapeutas, homens e mulheres, psicólogos, que re…
Family as a Discursive Achievement
Beginning with an understanding of family as a social construction, this article suggests that people actively make meanings about family during social interchanges. The idea is that family can be conceived as a discursive achievement: Family is defined in terms of what people who are drawing on various available socially produced discourses describe together as family. We propose that different realities regarding family are created via social p…
Sex trade among men
Commercial sex is a marginalized and highly stigmatized activity in Brazilian culture. In this article we aim at investigating the discursive strategies used by young men who trade sex in order to resist stigmatization and social exclusion. We interviewed 24 young men who trade sex in a medium sized city in Brazil. Discursive strategies used by the interviewees to avoid social stigma could be summarized as (1) a reduction of sexual activity to it…
From Social Construction to Relational Construction
Narratives of the interactive moment
In this article, we identify the contributions to narrative approaches that emerge from a communication perspective. We elaborate on an approach to narrative that centers on the joint, interactive aspects of narrative construction and discuss why it is useful for navigating around two pitfalls encountered by narrative scholars: (1) the psychologist’s fallacy and (2) the problems of finalization in narrative
Dialogue and transformation
Although recent policies in education in Brazil have included sexuality as an important theme to be discussed in the classroom, it still has not effectively created an educational context where sexuality can be discussed in a positive, non-discriminatory and culturally/historically sensitive way. This article aims at contributing to the development of training programs for sexual educators, specifically for those who are concerned with the inclus…
Avaliação como construção social
O presente artigo tem por objetivo delinear uma visão da avaliação como um processo, no qual aspectos positivos e generativos do contexto interativo podem ser explorados. Introduz-se a Investigação Apreciativa como uma abordagem válida e útil para a avaliação em diversos contextos. Ancorado no discurso construcionista social, a Investigação Apreciativa é apresentada como uma alternativa de avaliação promotora de mudanças em diversos cenários. A I…

Bridging Incommensurate Discourses
Mackay (2003) argues that the meaning-making literature places an emphasis on meaning from a `meaning as salience' perspective, which he claims constructionists use, illogically, to support an anti-realist view. In response, first, this article attempts to articulate language (from a constructionist stance) as an engaged activity, not a tool used to talk about the world. It is the discursive emphasis on language as an activity, as opposed to the …
Relational Responsibility
Relational Responsibility replaces traditional ideas on individual responsibility by giving centre stage to the relational process thereby replacing alienation with meaningful dialogue
Relational responsibility
In Relational Responsibility, the authors attempt to transform the concept of responsibility in such a way that the relational process replaces the individual as the central concern. This volume invites practices that replace alienation and isolation with meaning-building dialogue. Relational Responsibility will be a valuable resource in the study of communication theory, sociology, social theory, interpersonal and group communication, conflict m…
Research as Rationally Situated Activity
This essay addresses the issue of research from a social constructionist perspective. Of central concern is how research helps to bring forth the kind of world that will entertain the multiple and often competing versions of reality that generated in differing discursive communities. Traditional research is characterized by its standards of objectivity and its quest for the essential features of our investigational topics. A social constructionis…
