In this comprehensive overview we familiarise readers with Michel Foucault’s
publications that are relevant both to discourse studies and to studies of governmentality.
We review the narrow impact that Foucault’s ideas have had on
discourse studies and summarise the scant literature on discourse and governmentality
across different disciplines. We elucidate the new scholarly understandings
of Foucault’s later work, as well as engage with the debates about
governmentality that have been generated after Foucault. In particular, we give a
thorough assessment of the reverberations of Foucault’s later work on governmentality
to clarify its contemporary relevance for discourse studies. Lastly,
we introduce and contextualise the theoretical, methodological and analytical
innovations in discourse studies to be found in the chapters in this volume,
before concluding on the contributions that the book makes to both discourse
studies and studies of governmentality.
