Contents.Definition According to Foucault's understanding of power, power is based on knowledge and makes use of knowledge; on the other hand, power reproduces knowledge by shaping it in accordance with its anonymous intentions. Power (re-) creates its own fields of exercise through knowledge.Foucault incorporates this inevitable mutuality into his power-knowledge, the most important part of which is the hyphen that links the two aspects of the integrated concept together (and alludes to their inherent inextricability).It is helpful noting that Foucault has a textual understanding of both power and knowledge.
Both power and knowledge are to be seen as de-centralised, relativistic, ubiquitous, and unstable (dynamic) systemic phenomena. Thus Foucault's concept of power draws on micro-relations without falling into because it does not neglect, but emphasizes, the systemic (or structural) aspect of the phenomenon. However, he does not actually define knowledge.In 'knowledge' is defined as a higher form of information, which requires understanding the patterns and creating useful meaning of the information people collect.History of the term In his 1934 play ‘’ wrote: ‘Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?’.
This division between information, knowledge and wisdom inspired many generation of information scientists later on.In his later works, suggests that power-knowledge was later replaced in the modern world, with the term which points to a specific mentality of governance.Modern developments While in most of the 20th century the term ‘knowledge’ has been closely associated with power, in the last decades ‘information’ has become a central term as well. With the growing use of, information is increasingly seen as the means to generate useful knowledge and power.One of the recently developed model, known as the Volume and Control Model, describes how information is capitalized by global corporations and transforms into economic power. Volume is defined as the informational resources—the amount and diversity of information and the people producing it. Control is the ability to channel the interaction between information and people through two competing mechanisms: (information relevant to most people), and (information relevant to each individual person).According to this understanding, knowledge is never neutral, as it determines force relations. The notion of power-knowledge is therefore likely to be employed in critical, normative contexts.
One example of the implications of power-knowledge is monopoly of knowledge, its algorithm, and its inevitable commercial and cultural biases around the world, which are based on the volume and control principles. A recent study shows, for example, the commercial implications of algorithm, as all search results for the term 'beauty' in different languages predominantly yield images of white young females.
