The general system that governs which statements can appear in a given time and place, and how they are grouped, retained, and transformed. Foucault's 1969 L'archéologie du savoir (translated as The Archaeology of Knowledge, 1972) took the word away from its ordinary meaning and used it for the law of what can be said: not the sum of preserved texts, but the rules that decide what counts as a statement at all. The referent is an abstract order of discourse reconstructed by the analyst, and it is deliberately opposed to the everyday meaning of a stored collection of records or a folder of computer files.[1]
