Morality is pervasive, touching all aspects of social life. The
contributors to this volume provide an introduction to research on how
morality is socially constructed in and through discourse, and the
implications of this for the empirical analysis and theorization of
morality. The volume addresses both how morality gets done through
everyday practices, as well as the practical concerns that discussions
of morality inevitably entail. It does so by delving into how morality
is socially constructed in an array of communicative environments
through the lens of a range of different discourse analytic
traditions. Drawing on the conceptual tools of moral stance,
positioning, responsiveness and authority, the chapters address the
ways in which morality is enacted, interactionally negotiated,
contested and policed. What emerges from these discussions and
analyses is an understanding of morality from a discursive perspective
that encompasses both morality as action, in which moral stances
become the articulated object of action, and moral framing, in which
the situated context itself is morally charged for evaluation.
