This paper examines the intersection of discourse, power, and history in the context of monarchy in Ancient Regime Europe, engaging with Foucauldian theories and their implications for historical research. It critiques both traditional and poststructuralist historical methodologies and explores how monarchy as an institution persists amid modernization. The study articulates the complex relationships between sovereigns and subjects and reflects on contemporary implications through historical case studies, particularly the institutional evolution of monarchy and its impact on national identity.
Abstract Michel Foucault's Archaeology of Knowledge the Archaeology is a major source for the concept of discursive constitution in critical accounting.
This return to the text is intended as a clarification of what Foucault says about discourse in that work and to ask those questions of it which occur to a sociologist. The major conclusions are as follows.
Edward Said is regarded as the originator of colonial discourse theory. Besides, Foucault himself is trapped in a discourse produced by Said. In this paper I argue that even though Foucault has achieved a paradigmatic status in history, his methodological value has been neglected.

I suggest that even though Foucault's "method" poses a number of problems, it is nevertheless useful for conducting more "traditional," archival research. The method, I suggest, has three levels: 1 archaeology, 2 genealogy and 3 strategics.
