It adopts Michel Foucault’s concept of discourse and power, a concept that frequently appears in his pioneering works such as The Archeology of Knowledge and “The Order of Discourse”. Foucault believes that discourse and power are inseparable. The research affirms that discourse is symptomatic of the concept of power from the viewpoints of the governor and the governed.
