The concept of discourse plays an increasingly significant role in contemporary social sciences and humanities. The lecture aims to explain the prominence of the concept and explore the difference its introduction makes instead of deploying language and/or text as if a synonym. As for the trajectory of the changes to the concept, we shall address its shift from a narrow, structuralist account to the post-structuralist, and post-Marxist critical approaches that draw on Foucault’s model. At the same time, students will be introduced to sample analyses from the different scientific fields in order to make them see that no attempt at actual discourse analysis should take discourse as given but provide supporting linguistic/textual categories of analysis and arguments for the particular labeling of the discourses in question, including those of the analyst. The ultimate aim is to find ways of establishing the specificities of the text/context articulations that make up various orders of discourse any given text draws on.
