Constructed knowledge
• Under modernism, positivists believe that any knowledge is a neutral and a mere reflection of things in the world.
• However, constructionists argues that the world is constructed through language, discourse, and culture.
• Some scholars categorize this idea under postmodernism.
• The constructionists calls the ways of producing meanings as “representation.”
• For example, in representation of “cleaning products” (e.g. television advertisements for soap powders), we can see “killing germs” or pushing out the dirt from the clothing and leaving the material “as good as new” or “whiter than white.”
• In this way, meanings are produced through our social practices. = language as “discourse.”
