Rather, statements create a network of rules establishing what is meaningful, and it is these rules that are the preconditions for <A title="Proposition" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposition">propositions</A>, <A title="Utterance" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utterance">utterances</A>, or <A title="Speech acts" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_acts">speech acts</A> to have meaning.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michel_Foucault&oldid=120287284">Power/Knowledge was a work by Foucault that explains his theory of how power is created and transferred throughout an "economy" of <A title="Discourse" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse">discourse</A> (or conversation). It shows how power is transferred along conduits of dialogue according to the knowledge one has. Barry Allen says that it is only to have a statement pass among others as "known or true". Therefore, knowledge does not necessarily have to be true, but it only needs to be passed on as true for the statement to have an effect on the speakers in the discourse. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C763599C-2092-4467-B266-7B86B4DB173B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
