| Inhalt | Operation “Foucault”: Discourse Theory as Method The course approaches Foucauldian discourse theory as method, with a particular focus on how discourse relates to power, knowledge and media. Foucault’s concepts are notoriously difficult to apply, which is why they must be operationalized. Foucauldian discourse analysis may be understood as a toolbox containing a set of questions: What are the utterances and statements that provide knowledge about a given topic? What are the rules that prescribe a certain way of making these statements? How do statements and rules shape the conditions of possibility of a certain discourse? What can we learn from the problematization of the status quo about what is thinkable, sayable and visible in a specific context? How do statements gain authority and legitimacy – how do they become truth-claims? What are the institutional apparatuses at work, their technologies and practices? Who are the subjects produced by discourse? Finally, what is our position as researchers – the power of our gaze? The course is about practice, devoted to applying Foucauldian discourse analysis to participants’ concrete research topics. |
