"Discursive"

In pomo circles, I was pretty sure that the term "discursive" describes questions that bring critical assumptions into focus or questions which cause radical rethinking of a set of assumptions.

Am I crazy? Anyone else familiar with that usage? (m-w.com and dictionary.com both give me very different definitions).

a pomohomo myself, i use the word in the sense of looping conversation paths, as suggested by the "rambling" in the definitions provided here.
