The Trouble & Strife Reader (Cameron and Scanlon, eds) has several pieces that might be relevant. Not sure how much of a "discourse focus" you want.

Can anyone suggest references here? (beyond Butler’s ‘Bodies that Matter’). There’s a lot of stuff on ‘gender and the body’, and Wendy Harcourt’s ‘Body Politics in Development’ looks particularly relevant, but we’re looking for work with a particular language/discourse focus.
