Foucault s Discourse and Power: Implications for ...
Open Journal of Philosophy 2013. , , 23-28 Published Online February 2013 in SciRes ( ) Copyright 2013 SciRes. 23 Foucault s Discourse and Power: Implications for Instructionist Classroom Management Victor Pitsoe, Moeketsi Letseka Department of Educational Leadership and Management, College of Education, University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa Email: Received October 23rd, 2012; revised November 27th, 2012; accepted December 8th, 2012 This article picks up on Foucault s radical reconceptualisation of concept power , and presents a signifi- cant challenge to contemporary discourses surrounding instructionist classroom management. We critique his approach to instructionist classroom management on the basis that it conceptualises power as domina- tion in dealing with disruption in the classroom. We argue that power and Discourse are interrelated con- structs that the teacher uses to perpetuate Taylorism, Fordism and bureaucratic domination in an instruc- tionist classroom setting.
discourse is a vital methodological concept in unraveling power in the poststructuralist era. It is in discourse that power and knowledge are joined together. As Hutcheon (1991) observes, discourse is not merely a tool of domination, rather, it is an instrument of power. In addition, it is both an instrument and an effect of power.
