Institutional theory, language, and discourse analysis: a comment on Phillips, Lawrence, and Hardy
Professors Phillips, Lawrence, and Hardy's (2004) "discursive view of institutions" is provocative and potentially pathbreaking in its attempt to remedy a shortcoming repeatedly attributed to institutional theory: its limited analysis of processes of institutionalization. Phillips et al.'s diagnosis of this limitation points to an insufficient amount of attention being paid by institutional theorists to the foundational importance of language. Their remedy is a complement institutional theory with insights drawn from discourse analysis, a move that is intended to provide the additional benefit of "reconnect[ing] institutional theory to a concern with power and politics." The reflections presented here on the core elements of Phillips et al.'s thesis - the neglect of language and the inadequate treatment of power in institutional theory - are motivated by strong support for their identification of language's critical role in institutionalization. These comments are therefor directed less at the importance assigned to language than to the consistency and adequacy of the authors' working through of this emphasis. The paper begins with the role of language and the definition of discourse before turning to the question of power and revisiting the issue of studying institutional processes.Printed Journal
