Hi Jurgen,
Thanks for your message. I'm now less clear what you are asking.
Is your focus the 'discourse model' as it applies to anything, and whether
the study of design as an activity can show limits to the discourse model?
OR
Is your focus 'design' and whether there are limits to the application of
the discourse model to understanding/defining design?
OR
Something else
Best,
Terry

Subject: Re: design as discourse
Hi All,
thanks,.. that is a great discussion, and the literature Gavin and
Klaus had been pointing out I already know.
Even in Foucault's original work, discourse is not constrained by
rhetoric, when we look at his
interpretation of a painter having a discourse in-front of the canvas.
A good work about the visual
(language) discourse is Deleuze (Foucault). A great article written
about this aspect comes from John
Rajchman, ( "Foucault's Art of Seeing," October, Vol. 44 (Spring,
1988), pp. 88-117). As mentioned
before from Gavin, the work of Fairclough and Gee is a great resource
to see how these models can work.
I recently researched the change between the various phases in the design
process, how the
discourse 'strata' or textual matter changes, images text, speech etc.
during the design process and how the order of discourse changes as well
(Fairclough).
Again my question was, is there a limit to the discourse model if we
think about design? Does somebody know a paper written which focuses on
that isssue?
That was my original question and I would like to come back to it.
Thanks to all,
Jurgen
