Power/Knowledge by Michel Foucault
Selected Interviews and Other Writings, 1972-1977
This collection of interviews and essays explores the intricate relationship between power and knowledge, emphasizing how they are interwoven in societal structures. It delves into the ways in which power is exercised through the creation and dissemination of knowledge, challenging traditional notions of power as merely repressive. By examining various institutions, such as prisons, schools, and hospitals, it reveals how power operates subtly and pervasively, shaping human behavior and societal norms. The work encourages readers to question the underlying assumptions of authority and the mechanisms through which knowledge is produced and controlled.
