What does 'Archaeology' mean in Foucault's writings ?
Answer: C
In Foucault's writings, archaeology means the analysis of discourse.
In The Order of Things (1966) and The Archaeology of Knowledge (1969), Michel Foucault used 'archaeology' for his method of uncovering the rules that govern discursive formations: what can be said, by whom and as what kind of knowledge in a given period. It digs beneath the surface of texts to the systems of discourse that make them possible.
Archaeology is not concerned with speech as individual utterance, with action, or with values. Foucault's later 'genealogy' added the analysis of power, but archaeology itself is the study of discourse.
