Date: Wed, 14 Sep 1994 23:32:52 -0400 (EDT) From: John Hollister <bb05246-AT-bingsuns.cc.binghamton.edu> To: foucault-AT-world.std.com Subject: Discourse Howdy, This is a real basic question, but just what, exactly, is 'discourse' in the sense(s) used by MF and his followers? I was recently advised that my working hypotheses (shared understandings that make communication possible, communication tout court, traditions for talking about something) are wrong. However, in (re)reading MF, and in scanning the secondary lit, I haven't been able to find a clear, usable key for deciphering statements that use the D word. Thanks, John -- John Hollister bb05246-AT-bingsuns.cc.binghamton.edu ............................................................................
