Dialogue and dialogism: some critical reflections from an integrationist standpoint

What is it about?

A critical examination of a range of approaches to dialogue and dialogism, emphasising the problems that these approaches have in (re-)connecting dialogue and conversation to the social activities and processes to which language contributes. An 'integrationist' alternative to dialogism (and Conversation Analysis) is outlined in which communication is understood in terms of the integration of people's activities within communication processes that are connected and presupposed in complex ways beyond the immediate knowledge and direct experiences of individuals.

Why is it important?

I'm not sure it's important, but it adds to the debate about how to bring together the study of society and social organization with the study of language and communication.
