Some possibly useful refs on visual research and DA although combingin foucault with DA means you'll be doing CDA (Critical Discourse Analysis) for which see Norman Fairclough and gang at lancaster.
James Gee: Discourse Analysis is good (anything by him is readable)
Researching Culture and Society has useful summary papers
(and see my review in Discourse & Society http://das.sagepub.com/cgi/content/refs/18/1/117)
Brief overview on visual methods by Marcus Banks is useful

On Foucault's governmentality of course you need to read his archaeologist and histories of the psychiatric clinic, prisons, and other institutions.
Elisabeth Tunstall has talked about this for design (and she's always smart - See IASDR07 collection)
