“Discourse is not the expression of thought; it is a practice, with conditions, rules, and historical transformations. To analyze development as a discourse is ‘to show that to speak is to do something-something other than to express what one thinks; ... to show that to add a statement to a pre-existing series of statements is to perform a complicated and costly gesture’ (Foucault, 1972)” – Escobar (1995)
