[Foucault-L] Introduction

I would like to introduce myself to group. I am just starting work on a PhD at the University of Chichester. I want to look at the discourse of academic reading and am reading Foucault with the idea that I might use his ideas on the control, production and distribution of discourses as a means of theorising my research.

I am only beginning to engage with Foucault's ideas and am reading Discipline and Punish, his essay on the Order of Discourse, and 'What is an Author?' I am pleased to find that although his work is difficult and dense I am beginning to get hang of it!
