Concept used in the work of Michel Foucault, to denote the interchangeability and mutual supportiveness of power and knowledge. Because he thought a regime of power always constructs forms of knowledge and a regime of knowledge always institutes a regime of power, he fused the two words into a single concept.
For example, prisons are an example of a regime of power/knowledge: the observation of prisoners and the recording of different categories of criminality are in many ways identical with the process of incarceration itself, as a system of control of people's bodies and of physical spaces.

Mental asylums, schools, armies, etc. are all different examples of regimes of power/knowledge. The way in which people are recorded as elements in these discourses is connected to their subordination to or complicity in particular relations of power.

Especially ignore Sidelabel's definition as he has shown that he doesn't know what he is talking about.
Its quite a realistic, shocking, and thoughtful series about power in the hands of adolescents.
Its also a very misleading series, what appears to be a cute Shoujo story soon turns into a pitch black investigation of the human psyche.
