Kenneth Gergen. Foundational Ideas in Social Construction
Description
That everything is relational is the basic supposition that Gergen begins talking about in this conversation about the basic ideas that underlie social constructionism. Everything we talk about is from a set of relationships and each has its’ own vocabulary which will construct you differently. We can make language be a map. In the 20th century, the natural sciences became the "keeper of the truth." Social construction attempts to have no one be the keeper of the truth. It undermines ideas of "truth" and is an invitation into a set of relationships.
