Abstract
The article presents a brief history of the formation of the reflexive project in the sociology of scientific knowledge and the rise of the concept of “new literary forms”. It also considers why reflexivity becomes one of the key concepts of discourse analysis in the work of J. Potter. The methodological aspects of discourse analysis and the mistakes that researchers make when analyzing are described. It is shown that discourse analysis implies the analyst’s “struggle” with his or her own interpretations, which makes discourse analysis a reflective practice.
