Synopsis
The term 'discourse' has a wider range of possible significations than any other term in literary and cultural theory. Yet it is often the term within theoretical texts which is least defined. Discourse uses a number of literary and non-literary texts to illustrate how the term has been used. Mills discusses the ways that feminist, colonial and post-colonial discourse theorists have appropriated the term developed by Michel Foucault and put in other contexts. In this clear and helpful analysis, Sara Mills has provided a sense of the historical development of the term 'discourse' as well as some straight-forward working definitions, as they are currently used within different disciplines. Sara Mills is Research Professor at the School of Cultural Studies, Sheffield Hallam University. She has published on feminist linguistic and literary theory and on feminist colonial discourse theory.
