Discourse Analysis
1) The focus of discourse analysis should be local points of power rather than centralized forms to show how power functions daily through normalized techniques and procedures.
OK
2) Analysis should focus on the material or practicaleffects of power rather than a search for its origins.
OK
3) Power should be analyzed as operating independently of particular persons; individuals are only the conduits through which power moves.
OK
4) Studies should portray power as ascending from the lowest levels of society (the family, schools, etc.) rather than descending from above.
? this allows for potential but does it adequately acknowledge the internalisation of oppressive power structures
(Foucault) re access to inherent resources
5) Power should not be treated as ideology, but instead as the rules and instruments that produce what is accepted as "truth".
? "Ideology" technologies of the self? conceptual apparatus > expert systems?
