Communicating about, Foucault?

Etymologically, the term discourse corresponds to the Latin word running here and there and/or various versions of the word "diverge", "meltdown", "spread" and "discursus"; it also means “talking at length about the subject”, “communicating about something” in a figurative sense.

Discourse is a language practice according to Foucault. There are processes related to language practices that turn into action through knowledge of ideology, dialogue, expression, style of expression, negotiation, power, and the exchange of power. By the word “discourse”, he refers to forms of expression that enable the use of language to represent knowledge. Discourse is the production of knowledge through language. All social behavior has a discursive character since all forms of social behavior contain meaning. And meaning shapes what we do.
