Craig Owen - A Theoretical and Hands-on Introduction to Foucauldian Discourse Analysis

Building on Michel Foucault's work on power, discourse, knowledge and language, Foucauldian Discourse Analysis offers critical analysis of a range of multi-media texts, practices and social interactions.
In the workshop, participants explored the key principles of social constructionism and Foucault's work which underpin this method. Workshop participants then worked in small groups to analyse a contemporary pop video by "Plan B". The workshop concluded with a discussion of how the method could be integrated into the workshop participants' ongoing research.
