To Foucault, everything is about power relationships. Entwined with power is knowledge so that in every power relationship there is knowledge and vice-versa. Foucault takes the cliché "Knowledge
is power" and revises it: the knowledge of humans integrated with the power that acts on humans equals power/knowledge. Consequently, power/knowledge (not a binary opposition but an integrated construction) is always a discursive formation and works through
language. To understand how power/knowledge works, it's important to understand "epistemes" and discourse.
