Discourse in a Material World
反驳了话语研究无法处理物质性的观点,展示福柯式话语理论如何分析话语与物质过程的共构关系及权力关系,并举例说明话语学者如何研究物质性与权力。
Abstract We challenge recent assertions that discourse studies cannot de facto address materiality. We demonstrate how a Foucauldian theorization of discourse provides a way to analyse the co‐constitutive nature of discursive and material processes, as well as explore the power relations implicated in these relationships. To illustrate our argument, we identify exemplary studies that have effectively combined a study of discourse and different aspects of materiality – bodies, objects, spaces, and practices. In doing so, we show how discourse scholars are able to study both materiality and power relations.
