Book Review: Neda Chepinchikj, Interactional Approach to Cinematic Discourse: How Do Woody Allen’s Characters Talk?

Abstract

stereotyping prevents male teachers from being visible in the primary school age setting. Chapter 10 (Howard) examines geopolitics, gender, and intersectional identities in the UK parliament as a masculinized space. The volume concludes with an Epilogue (Chapter 11 by King) that provides a discussion and critical reflection on the results presented in the different chapters with a focus on the geopolitical aspect of the book. Overall, the book provides an original approach and an in-depth analysis of the different gender issues which affect all women in the workplace, especially when gender intersects with class, race, and religion. Thus, the volume effectively fills a gap in scholarly knowledge about the experiences of women from different geopolitical regions from a linguistic perspective. Given its wide-ranging scope, the volume would be intriguing to Discourse Studies readers who are interested in the intersection between gender, geopolitics, and professional contexts. In addition, I would also recommend the volume to lay people to raise awareness of the aforementioned issues and help eradicate gendered power relations and gender-specific challenges in the workplace.
