Peer review
The article states that Foucauldian discourse analysis is a type of discourse analysis based on Michel Foucault’s theories and majorly deals with those relationships in the society which are of power. Its expression is majorly through practices and language. The article adds that the Foucauldian discourse analysis came as a result of the genealogical work by Foucault. During these times, the connection between power discourse formation was in the contexts of specific periods of history. The Foucauldian discourse analysis, according to the article, investigates how different power sources influence the social world. In using Foucauldian discourse analysis, according to the article, five distinct steps are useful in carrying out the study. The initial step is realizing that discourse is a group of statements planned regularly and systematically. The following steps deal with the rules of identification of the contexts of statements. Right from the start of the article, it is true that Foucauldian discourse analysis is a new type of discourse. Due to this, one aspect that should be part of the paper are the various aspects surrounding the study of Foucauldian speech. The first aspect of the analysis that I can add in the article is that it involves genealogy or historical inquiry. The second aspect is that the analysis can then attend to the mechanism of power and then finally, the study of the materials showing the practices which can be called subjectification. Also, I can make the article better by highlighting the various ways in which the Foucauldian discourse analysis stands out from other discursive approaches.
