power/knowledge

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.

Dropping Knowledge

The act of supplying another individual with important information at a crucial time. The information supplied must be of some significance within the context with which it was dropped.

Mark: "I am going to Boston, but I am not sure what I am doing"

John: "Hmm, please allow me, I love "dropping knowledge" on the likes of you. There is a Red Sox game at 7:05 pm, they're playing the Rangers, you can find tickets at stubhub.com, there is a great restaurant around the corner, here is the number to make a reservation. You should avoid taking 93 during rush hour."

Mark: "Wow, you just dropped some serious knowledge on me!"

Cesspool of Knowledge

An extention of the popular, "pool of knowledge" that basically means someone is so smart and has such a large information base they surpass just being a pool of knowledge, they can miraculously pull things out of their ass, and hence are a cesspool of knowledge.

Could be taken as a compliment or an insult--i.e. someone that is full of shit.

You're so smart you're like a cesspool of knowledge!
