Analyzing Discourse and Regimes of Power/Knowledge with the Sociology of 
Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD) and related perspectives

The symposium will discuss theoretical issues, methodology and empirical 
research on discourses and regimes of power/knowledge in different 
social areas, using the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse 
(SKAD). This perspective on discourses and their analysis draws on 
Foucault, Berger and Luckmann and the interpretative paradigm of 
sociology including symbolic interactionism and "communicative 
constructivism". In comparison to the Foucauldian tradition, SKAD 
focuses more on social actors and societal arenas of discursive 
disputes. In comparison to Berger & Luckmann, it expands analysis of 
societal processes of knowledge construction in institutional contexts 
and in public or semi-public arenas. Integrating both, it re-orientates 
discourse research towards questions of social relationships of 
knowledge and politics of knowledge - following knowledges, their 
production and power effects through societies. In doing so, SKAD takes 
also into account research questions concerning Si
  tuational Analysis as conceived by Adele Clarke, and organizational 
discourse. The session invites researchers using the SKAD framework or 
close perspectives as Situational Analysis, to present their work and/or 
to discuss further perspectives.
