These texts focus on power in modern societies: its configuration, its diffusion within society, its exercise in institutions, its relationship to the production of truth, and the resistance it elicits. Furthermore, they explain the genealogical method developed by Foucault to analyze how and why knowledge is constituted through political and economic practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThere are three main innovations in the texts in this collection: first, they reject the identification between power and the state apparatus, emphasizing the network of molecular powers that expands throughout society; second, they characterize power not only as repressive, but also as disciplinary and normalizing; and third, they analyze knowledge as part of a political apparatus that produces it and is intensified by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In writing these texts, believing in the effectiveness of specific resistance to the various mechanisms of power, Foucault sought to rebel against the bourgeois domination that human knowledge itself helped create and perfect.
