Foucault

Still reading more and more about Foucault, specifically now where he has been used within new media literature. At first I had wanted to look at 3 elements of his work

1. The concept of discourse
2. Power/Knowledge
3. The question of the 'subject'

Foucault has seem to have written on every topic in the book! There is so much information and different ways of analyzing things that Foucault seems to have touched on, it is hard to narrow it down to a few specific themes. The more I read however, the more I think I will just stick with the 2 first themes (discourse and power/knowledge) in order to offer a more detailed and concise account of how Foucault's work fits into my analysis of Twitter.
