Hello Foucauldian list members. My name is Fred MacDonald; I am a
doctorial student at the Ontario Institute for Studies in
Education/University of Toronto. My research is focussing on the
discourses and discursive practices that shape and define teachers and
their work.
Lately, I have been grappling with the distinctions between and among
discourse, ideoology, world-view, philosophical orientation and paradigm.
Can anyone from the list offer any clarification? I am especially
interested in the difference(s) between discourse and paradigm. Would
Foucault be insulted by my query?
Thanks for any comment you might be able to give.
