Your Definition
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.
