TL;DR: The authors distinguishes and describes three post-Foucauldian strategies of discourse analysis, the combined use of which in one research project is a proposal to integrate concepts scattered in Foucault's various works.
Abstract: At the present stage of the reception of Foucault’s ideas, various theoretical and methodological trends coexist, within which the concepts of Michel Foucault are used fruitfully in empirical research One of them is discourse studies understood as an inter- and transdisciplinary research area This article distinguishes and describes three post-Foucauldian strategies of discourse analysis, the combined use of which in one research project is a proposal to integrate concepts scattered in Foucault’s various works The strategies distinguished (archaeological, alethurgical, and dispositif) are characterized by the different analytical categories, understanding of discourse, and its relations with knowledge and power The article presents selected results of the complementary use of concepts such as knowledge formation, alethurgy, confession, or the dispositif in the empirical research on the reform of higher education in Poland

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the kinds of higher education policy discourses embedded in major Cambodian higher education policies related to educational reform efforts undertaken by the government and propose a new form of hybrid governmentality.
Abstract: This paper examines the kinds of higher education policy discourses embedded in major Cambodian higher education policy texts related to educational reform efforts undertaken by the government The focus is on post-conflict Cambodia, that is, Cambodia since 1993 when the first national elections were organized after more than two decades of armed civil conflict The paper argues that higher education policymaking in post-conflict Cambodia can be conceptualized as a new form of ‘hybrid governmentality’ In this hybrid form, the government draws on policy discourses associated with modern, liberal democracy to legitimize its existence At the same time, it continues to insert its own discourses rooted in Cambodia’s traditional socio-cultural hierarchical order, unstable political frameworks, and legacies of prolonged civil upheaval

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-phase model is proposed as a possible answer to the often stressed lack of methodological devices in the area of discourse analysis, combining the theory of discourse of Laclau and Mouffe with the critical discourse analysis of Fairclough.
Abstract: The aim of this chapter is to bring to the forefront the potential of discourse analysis in higher education research. It characterises discourse analysis as a constructionist perspective, underlying its empirical applications in the field of higher education. A two-phase model is proposed as a possible answer to the often stressed lack of methodological devices in the area of discourse analysis. This model combines the theory of discourse of Laclau and Mouffe with the critical discourse analysis of Fairclough, on the assumption that they have complementary elements that may be employed for research in the field of higher education. We selected a text to exemplify the use of discourse organisers (phase one) and to analyse the way discourses become dominant/excluded (phase two). We conclude by arguing that higher education research looking into discourses has major advantages to consider discourse analysis, both as a theory and method.
