Hall’s OU essay links Said’s Orientalism to Foucault’s discourse analysis.

Evidence

The essay presents an important and original perspective on the history of globalization and modernity as represented by the imperial powers of the northwest of the globe. Its main purpose is to offer an overview, enabling the student reader to self-reflexively place the perspective offered here in relation to a broad range of earlier work in anthropology, history, and sociology. Most importantly, perhaps, in this connection, the essay not only discusses Edward Said’s perspectives on Orientalism but also deals at some length with Foucault’s contribution to the analysis of discourses of power and regimes of truth. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 483
