Description and Table of Contents
Description
Included here is Professor Smith's essay "K is Mentally Ill", which explores the concept of mental illness as a method of reading and writing a factual account of someone becoming mentally ill. There are also essays on femininity as discourse; the social relations of description in the context of a sociological study of the news; the micro-politics of a meeting; the "structuring" of power through texts telling different versions of a confrontation between police and street people. The book concludes with a discussion of the distinctive properties of social organization and the relations mediated by texts. "Texts, Facts and Femininity" will be of interest to students of women's studies, sociology, social theory, cultural theory, communications and psychology.
