Description: Social Constructionism: Sources and Stirrings in Theory and Practice offers an introduction to the different theorists and schools of thought that have contributed to the development of contemporary social constructionist ideas charting a course through the ideas that underpin the discipline. From the New Science of Vico in the 18th century through to Marxist writers ethnomethodologists and Wittgenstein ideas as to how socio - cultural processes provide the resources that make us human are traced to the present day. Despite constructionists often being criticised as 'relativists' 'activists and 'anti - establishment and for making no concrete contributions their ideas are now being adopted by practically - oriented disciplines such as management consultancy advertising therapy education and nursing. Andy Lock and Tom Strong aim to provoke a wider grasp of an alternative history and tradition that has developed alongside the one emphasised in traditional histories of the social sciences.
