The Discourse of Power refers to the way in which power is expressed, communicated and maintained through language, idea and social practices.

It is a concept rooted in the work of French philosopher Michel Foucault, who argued that power is not just about direct control or coercion, but also embedded in the way we talk about and understand the world.

Discourse shapes what is considered true, normal or acceptable, influencing people's beliefs and behaviors.

Those who control the dominant discourse have the ability to define reality for others, determining what knowledge is legitimate and which voices are heard or silenced.

Through discourse, power is both exercised and resisted, meaning that while it can reinforce existing hierarchies, it also provides avenues for challenging or transforming them.
