| Question | Answer |
| Meanings of discourse | "értekezés" - original meaning narrative/literary theory: the way a story is put together Foucault: discourse is language |
| Discourse as language | limit of world=limit of language discourse is language but not just as a semiotic system or a system of communication but as a set of elements and their connections, a practice or part of other practices |
| Statement vs. utterance | statement: intervenes in the world utterance: linked to previous statements, technologies |
| Discourse as a regime | a system what makes things sayable/askable, others not sayable |
| Truth | not adequation correspondence sometimes revelation by others discursive effect something repeated until canonized, accepted as truth |
| Science as truth | science is not questioned, we regard authority as true because of its status in the world (earlier: religion) since it is an authority, we are not going to test it it creates the effect of truth |
| History as truth | does not have to be true (Herodotos) we regard it as truth now our changing everyday life is also part of history the effect of truth is not necessary |
| News as truth | does not have to be truth it has to create a sense of novelty (actuality) |
| Power | capillary: wide range of practices, dispersed repressive and productive at the same time a network limiting the things we can do and creating the subject |
| Power now and then | Medieval times: the king executions showed what power can do now: punishment and execution is hidden through education we are thaught that science is truth |
| Productivity of power | I do not pre-exist before power, its capillary structure creates the subject eg. passport - my identity when I am able to create my own identity, it is too late, I am already produced |
| Knowledge | "knowledge is power" we acquire it about something - it always has an object, it creates its object |
| Knowledge and power | power decides the object of knowledge knowledge is produced by those who have the power eg. knowledge on women but not on men since men produced it knowledge on the East, Oriental, Europe is defined by it |
| Genealogical approach to knowledge | the position and intention of the speaker is important who, when, why, how? |
| Genealogical approach to discourse | discourse is the set of practices which systematically form the object of what they speak of also the institutions, therapies, methods |
| Discoursive objects | objects without unchanging, hidden content emerge due to a shift, everything changes (science - religion) eg. madness, sexuality (divine - demonic - medicalized) |
| Orientalism as discourse | practices, technologies not referential discourse produces the object - by studying it we learn about ourselves |
| Literature as discourse | not a natural, special category of text texts designated, separated, enshrined others' holy texts are just texts for us institutionalized |
| Objects of literature | genres, a book, a period as the object of study oeuvre: all the works of one name, coherent expression of one imagination, caleidoscope, the weight of the individual is more important the author |
| Novel | Bakhtin: while speaking we always cite someone, something (polyphony) we always talk or respond to someone in the novel, when the character speaks, the narrator also speaks, which is similar this is why the novel is the good genre |
