mar 22, 1926 - Foucault
Description:
Paul-Michel Foucault(1926 - 1984)
'Truth' is to be understood as a system of ordered procedures for the production, regulation, distribution, circulation and operation of statements. 'Truth' is linked in a circular relation with systems of power which produce and sustain it, and to effects of power which it induces and which extend it. A 'regime' of truth.
Where there is power, there is resistance.
People know what they do; frequently they know why they do what they do; but what they don't know is what what they do does.
Schools serve the same social functions as prisons and mental institutions- to define, classify, control, and regulate people.
