Wells, Gordon – Language Arts, 2009
In Shakespeare's "As You Like It," Jaques offers the image of the world--or society--as a stage on which "one man in his time plays many parts."

Johannisson, Jenny; Sundin, Olof – Library Quarterly, 2007
This article contributes to discourse-oriented, information-seeking research by showing how discourses, from a neopragmatist perspective, can be explored as tools that people employ when they actively engage in information practices in varied social contexts.

This leads to the notion of discursive identity, which emphasises that students' identities are constituted through engaging in discourse. This view…
