ABSTRACT
This article offers a discursive and ethnomethodological approach to analysing the interplay between class, discourse and talk. Drawing on feminist and sociological work that foregrounds the cultural dimensions of class, this article moves beyond the cultural approach by using the insights of discursive psychology and ethnomethodology. Conceptualising class as a ‘doing’, this article analyses empirical examples that emerged from a qualitative study on young women’s relationships with feminism. Providing a novel theoretical framework, but also a close, empirically grounded analysis, the article argues that a discursive and ethnomethodological approach can offer useful insights to the study of class in general, and the cultural approach in particular.
