discurso
For Foucault, from whom cultural studies derives its usage of this term, discourse “unites” both language and practice. The idea refers to the production of knowledge through language which gives meaning to material objects and social practices. Material objects and social practices are given meaning or “brought into view” by language and are thus discursively formed.
