Quote by Michel Foucault

Power is not an institution, and not a structure neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.

Power is not an institution, and not a structure neither is

Summary

This quote highlights that power is not a concrete entity or a physical structure, but rather a concept that represents the dynamics and relationships within a specific society. It suggests that power is not something individuals possess inherently, but rather an attribution based on one's ability to navigate and strategize within their societal context. Power, therefore, is subjective and may differ depending on the social dynamics and strategies employed by individuals or groups within a given society.
