According to Foucault, dominant-group discourses pervade networks of social and political control, which he called "regimes of truth", and which function to legitimize what can be said, who has the authority to speak and be heard, and what is authorized as true or as the truth.
Prema Fouclatu, diskusi dominantne grupe prožimaju mreže društvene i političke kontrole, koje je on nazvao režimima istine, i koji funkcionišu da legitimišu ono sto se moze reći, ko ima autoritet da prica i da se čuje njegov glas i sta je ovlašćeno kao istinito ili kao istina.
