dc.description.abstractThe reasons for writing this chapter, which is concerned with exploring how to analyse resistance in talk and text are twofold; firstly, there are the calls for more attention to be given to resistance in Critical Discourse Studies (CDS) and Oral History and secondly, there is a dearth of explicit accounts of how analysis of resistance in talk or text is undertaken (Hughes 2018; Wolgemuth 2014). To respond to these calls, the focus is on resistance and resistance frameworks / schema are proffered as helpful when analysing for resistance in talk and text. In the first section of the chapter, critical discourse studies (CDS) and oral history are introduced and the reasons as to why analysing resistance can be common to both research approaches are explained. Then the reader is provided with an overview of the interdisciplinary resistance studies literature toward uncovering how resistance has been understood. It is this literature that provides the fertile ground for the development of resistance frameworks, which are central to the section which follows. The conclusion drawn in the chapter is that there is value in using a resistance schema as an analytical tool or primer to help explore the complexities of everyday resistance in the context of complicated power relations. This is demonstrated in the section before the conclusion, drawing on the oral history narratives of Irish women talking about their working lives.en
