Discourse
The term 'discourse'has a wider range of possible interpretations than any other term in literary and culutural theory, yet it is often the least satisfactorily defined within theoretical texts.
Discourse draws upon a variety of literary and non-literary texts to illustrate the myriad uses of the term throughout history. In this clear and helpful analysis, Sara Mills discusses the ways that feminists, discourse analysts, critical discourse analysts and post-colonial discourse theorists have appropirated the term developed by michel Foucaut for use other contexts, and contrasts this to the way the term has been used by linguists. She provides some straightforward working definitions of this complex term.
