The Textuality of Stress: Drawing between Scientific and Everyday Accounting
1Department of Psychology, University of Reading, UK.
Abstract:
Stress is a key term in health psychology, marking both conceptual possibilities and legislative failures. Rather than add a further global theory of stress, the term is examined as it operates in numerous kinds of practices. Drawing on qualitative material from varying sources I place emphasis on the role of concern and understanding in the definition of stress as the matter at hand. A discursive approach is used to worry the opposition of scientific and cultural practice in stress research and point instead to the notion of specific problematizations that appear in the rich fabric of the term's definition and description. I propose that attention to the details of a textuality of stress marks a step towards a 'modest' health psychology.
