Notes
"discourse’ would then be whatever constrains—but also enables—writing, speaking and thinking within such specific historical limits."[2]
"...discourses make possible certain realities, certain world views, and certain disciplines "makes possible the field of the human sciences—there are new objects which require new analyses—with distinct discourses covering each of the three areas: psychology (human life), sociology (human labour) and the studies of literature and myth (human signification, ‘man’ to ‘man’). Then, in the twentieth century, structuralism announces."[3]
"According to this position, what we can imagine (let alone put into practice) is both permitted and constrained by the discursive, that is representational, possibilities at our disposal.Thus both ‘the world’ and our consciousness of it are effects of the kinds of representations we can make of it. But, at the same time, discourse is not just a form of representation.""[4]. In other words, discourses provide "templates" that quite literally create the world around us. See Creation Templates
