We should not be content to say that power has a need for such-and-such a discovery, such-and-such a form of knowledge, but we should add that the exercise of power itself creates and causes to emerge new objects of knowledge and accumulates new bodies of information. … The exercise of power perpetually creates knowledge and, conversely, knowledge constantly induces effects of power. … It is not possible for power to be exercised without knowledge, it is impossible for knowledge not to engender power.
