Primes

• Causal Layered Analysis (CLA)
  • Foucault's (1969) archaeological method offers a complementary analytic — tracing the historical formation of discursive regimes that determine which statements can count as authoritative.

    This sourceÉditions Gallimard. (English: The Archaeology of Knowledge, trans. A. M. Sheridan Smith, Pantheon Books, 1972.) Develops the archaeological analysis of discursive formations and the rules that determine which statements count as authoritative, complementing CLA's account of how dominant worldviews are constituted.

• Continuity vs. Rupture
  • Continuity vs. Rupture is the interpretive dimension along which (1) an observed change in a system is located between two idealized endpoints: fully continuous gradual evolution on one end, fully discontinuous sharp break on the other, (2) the location is determined by examining whether the state variables describing the system change smoothly or jump across a boundary, and whether the causal structure on the far side of the change preserves or severs the one on the near side, (3) the judgment is partially a function of the observer's time-resolution and variable-choice — what looks continuous at centennial resolution can look like rupture at annual resolution, and vice versa — and (4) the resulting assessment is used to classify the change as evolutionary, revolutionary, or mixed, with different explanatory and prescriptive implications attached to each class, as Foucault (1969) developed in his archaeological method.
• Cultural Hegemony
  • The concept gives analysts a vocabulary for the most elusive form of power: the power to shape what seems obvious, common-sense, or unthinkable, what Foucault (1969) approached through the archaeology of discursive formations.

    This sourceArchaeological analysis of discursive formations — the rules that organize what can be said in a period.

• Grand Narrative (Metanarrative)
  • a narrative purporting to give a unifying account of history, society, or a domain under a single trajectory or logic; the legitimating function

    This sourceDevelops the archaeological analysis of discursive formations and argues that what counts as knowledge in an era is shaped by hidden structures of power; supports the legitimating-function claim that a metanarrative operates as an implicit framework legitimating institutions and epistemic practices.

• Historicism
  • Foucault (1969) in L'Archéologie du savoir challenged continuist historicism by proposing discontinuity models of historical change, arguing that historicism's assumption of underlying continuity obscures the ruptures that actually characterize intellectual history.

    This sourceDevelops the archaeological analysis of discursive formations, providing a power-and-discourse framework that complements CLA's account of how dominant worldviews are constituted.

• Presentism
  • T1 — Presentism vs. legitimate moral evaluation.

    This sourceDevelops the archaeological analysis of discursive formations, providing a power-and-discourse framework that complements CLA's account of how dominant worldviews are constituted.
