Discourse and Power

"A discourse is a way of talking about or representing something. [Discourse] produces knowledge that shapes perceptions and practice. [Discourse] is part of the way in which power operates. Therefore, [discourse] has consequences for both those who employ it and those who are 'subjected' to it" p.225.
