El nudo velado del poder. Subjetivación, saber, verdad

Abstract

The paper analyses in Foucault’s perspective the connection among the construction of subject, the practices of truth-telling and the forms of power that activate and are activated in this relationship. The thesis roots in classic genealogy starting from Plato and Aristoteles, also using Foucault’s works. The paper tries to underline how the public space is defined by different elements interconnected each other, and so the struggle between knowledge and power poses a stake in order to justify a political authority.
