Beyond the discursive: the case of social organization -- a reply to Edwards, Hepburn and Potter.

The article presents the authors' response to a critique of their article, focusing on progressive theorizing and powerful analytic work by reiterating concern with the question of social order and organization. According to the authors, contrary to their critics' suggestion that they seek to defend a canon, they merely identify the main strands of allied and sometimes incommensurate enquiry and method that discursive psychology has appropriated from sociology. They reiterate their claim that discursive psychology substitutes discourse for social organization and as such formulates a distinct and different analytic trajectory from ethnomethodology and conversation analysis.
