Abstract

To use the notion of a positioned speaker may be to invoke essentialist assumptions of identity, or it may involve locating a discursively and institutionally situated subject; many recent projects historicise subjectivity, politicise representation, and trace the emergence and development of discursive and cultural formations. All of which is to say that various positions maybe adopted in relation to the term speaking positions. (van Toorn & English, 1995, p.1)
