  • 3. We are using the term discourse, following Foucault,[4] as the taken for granted ways that people are collectively able to make sense of experience. Discourse categorizes experience by dividing it into meaningful units. Such divisions, however, are “always themselves reflexive categories, principles of classification, normative rules, institutionalized types; they, in turn are facts of discourse … [that] … have complex relations with each other, but they are not intrinsic, autochthonous, and universally recognizable characteristics.”[5] Discourses provide the means with which reality, including ethical reality, can be understood—each is “a framework and a logic of reasoning that, through its penetration of social practice, systematically forms its objects.”[6] It is such frameworks that become instantiated in written and spoken, verbal and non-verbally communicated texts constitutive of organizational social realities.[7,8] Discourses are central to the social construction of reality and the negotiation of meaning in local contexts—they provide the means through which experience might be ordered and sense made.[9,10] Further, discourse is a powerful way through which social reality is shaped—an enactment of power that can be constraining as well as enabling.[11]
