Batel and Castro's call for reopening the dialogue between the theory of social representations and discursive psychology is to be welcomed and indeed, somewhat long overdue. Despite the case that many scholars are engaging in the kind of rapprochement being advocated for by Batel and Castro, I argue here that the intellectual trajectory discursive psychology has taken during the last thirty years makes it less amenable to the kind of reconciliation called for by Batel and Castro. Two enduring tensions between the two theories that require resolution remain: (1) how we define discursive psychology as it is practised today and (2) the epistemological and ontological status of cognition.
巴泰尔和卡斯特罗呼吁重新开启社会表征理论与话语心理学之间的对话，这值得欢迎，而且实际上早就该这么做了。尽管许多学者正在进行巴泰尔和卡斯特罗所倡导的那种和解，但我在此认为，话语心理学在过去三十年所走的学术道路使其不太适合巴泰尔和卡斯特罗所要求的那种和解。这两种理论之间仍存在两个需要解决的长期矛盾：（1）我们如何定义当今实践中的话语心理学；（2）认知的认识论和本体论地位。
