TL;DR: In this paper, the relevance of Foucauldian thought on educational theory, practice and institutional life is examined, focusing on how power and knowledge are configured in the practices and norms of schooling.
Abstract: In this volume, the editors have brought together prominent international contributors to examine the relevance of Foucauldian thought on educational theory, practice and institutional life. The result is a diverse collection that offers broad and engaging analyses of how power and knowledge are configured in the practices and norms of schooling. This text not only provides a critical examination of the significance of Foucauldian thought for education, but also discusses how Foucault's theories are arrayed in the everyday life of schools. Contributors include: Bernadette Baker; David Blacker; Marie Brennan; Lynn Fendler; Jennifer Gore; Bill Green; Sakari Heikkinen; Kenneth Hultqvist; Ingolfur Asgeir Johannesson; Mimi Orner; Thomas Popkewitz; David Shaafsma; David Shutkin; Jussi Silvonen; Hannu Simola; Judith Rabak Wagener; and Lew Zipin.

TL;DR: This article explored how an ecological approach to language data can illuminate aspects of language use in multi-lingual environments, and identified the components of a competence in multilingual encounters that has not been sufficiently taken into consideration by applied linguists and that they call symbolic competence.
Abstract: This paper draws on complexity theory and post-modern sociolinguistics to explore how an ecological approach to language data can illuminate aspects of language use in multilingual environments. We first examine transcripts of exchanges taking place among multilingual individuals in multicultural settings. We briefly review what conversation and discourse analysis can explain about these exchanges. We then build on these analyses, using insights from complexity theory and interactional sociolinguistics. We finally outline the components of a competence in multilingual encounters that has not been sufficiently taken into consideration by applied linguists and that we call ‘symbolic competence’.

TL;DR: In this article, the contribution of critical discourse analysis (CDA) to critical policy studies through comparison with two other approaches which also advocate a "discursive turn" in policy studies is discussed.
Abstract: This article presents the contribution that critical discourse analysis (CDA) can make to critical policy studies through comparison with two other approaches which also advocate a ‘discursive turn’ in policy studies and that have been discussed in the journal: cultural political economy (CPE), and poststructuralist discourse analysis (PDA). I suggest that there are significant differences between CDA, CPE and PDA in their view of the discursive turn, and that a version of CDA which integrates argumentation theory and analysis with CDA can add significantly to the contributions that CPE and PDA might make to policy analysis. In the Conclusion, I address a suspicion that using argumentation analysis entails a commitment to Habermasian/Rawlsian ‘deliberative democracy,’ suggesting that argumentation analysis is also not only consistent with but also necessary for Gramscian approaches to political and policy analysis, including CPE and PDA.
