Can someone help me out with this:

"...strategy, unlike the programme, is an essentially non-discursive
rationality. Discourse is not a medium for strategy but a resource." (p.
251, Colin Gordon's "Afterword" to Power/Knowledge)

What I need to know is how might Colin Gordon be differentiating
"medium" and "resource" to produce the possibility for a non-discursive
strategy.

Plus, perhaps this is reductive, but does programme operate at the level
of discourse, technology at the level of the institution, and strategy
at the level of social practices of people? (as Colin Gordon outlines
these terms).

Thanks,
Alecia Jackson
