Abstract

This article attempts to demonstrate the moments when the issues of truth and norm appear and articulate themselves, examining how such notions emerge in genealogy and relating these issues with the way in which some of the modalities of subject are produced, disciplinary power and biopolitics. Thus, it will show how the normalization processes constitute truths in juridical practices, situating this analysis in the problem of power relations, from which real effects and social practices emerge. In addition, it investigates certain forms of knowledge and dispositifs that require regulatory standards as scientific and universal ones, causing the normalization of all individuals who deviate from this pattern.

Keywords: norm, truth, disciplinary power.
