IMPORTANCE OF BIOPOWER AND DISCOURSE IN GENDER STUDY
Biopower is an outline of influence that controls social life from its core by understanding it and gripping it to every individual. It is mainly directed to controlling life. Thus it refers to a condition in which what is openly at risk in power is the creation and life reproduction. Gender is vital to the study since these cultural opinions relating to the body and age assume mainly cruelly on women. However power to man resides in money, status, and dominance in the society. Debate has been on body construction, resistance and identity. For example in Europe Reproduction and childbirth were seen to be appropriate subject for men scientific experts than to midwives and women. The professionalization and new science advantaged men over women and midwives.
Discourse study refers to the use of language and the method in which it is conveyed. Language analysis is described into a number of facets, firstly the language itself and secondly how the language is put into use. For example, the amount of oral freedom a presenter has or the number of breaks or the tone she uses. Gender is assumed to be a central principle of both understanding and skill which expresses interests of various types in discourse study. In conclusion, the feminist study of gender reveals the ways that changes in science alter human view of ideas of bodies and gender. These views acknowledge that men’s and women’s science are more similar and that due to difference in level of professionalism men may understand women science more than they themselves do. The use of informal language has a communicative event and thus should be understandable to others.
