The Concept of Truth Regime Lorna Weir Abstract ??Truth regime ? is a much used but little theorized concept with the Foucauldian literature presupposing that truth in modernity is uniformly scienti ?c quasi-scienti ?c and enhances power I argue that the forms of truth characteristic of our present are wider than Foucault recognized their relations to power more various and their historicity more complex The truth regime of advanced modernity is characterized by multiple irreducible truth formulae that co- exist and sometimes vie for dominance A truth formula stabilizes a network of elements a relation between representation and presentation words and things truth and non-truth and the place of the subject in discourse Our contemporary truth regime comprises radically heterogeneous truthful knowledges ?? science governance religion politics and common culture ?? that have distinct histories and relations to power Résumé L ? expression régime de la vérité ? est un concept très utilisé mais à l ? égard duquel peu de théories ont été émises les traits de Foucault supposant que la vérité à l ? époque moderne est uniformément scienti ?que ou quasi scienti ?que et qu ? elle donne plus de pouvoir Je suis d ? accord que les formes de vérités qui sont caractéristiques de notre époque sont plus larges que celles reconnues par Foucault leurs relations au pouvoir plus nombreuses et leur historicité plus complexe Le régime de la vérité de la modernité avancée se caractérise par de multiples et irréductibles formules de vérités qui coexistent et parfois rivalisent Une formule de vérité stabilise un réseau d ? éléments une relation entre représentation et présentation mots et choses la vérité et la non vérité et la place du sujet dans le discours Notre régime de vérité contemporain est composé de connaissances vraies radicalement hétérogènes ?? science gouvernance religion politique et la culture commune ?? qui ont des histoires et des relations distinctes à l ? égard du pouvoir I am indebted to my colleague Brian Singer for his careful comments which greatly bene ?ted this article Eric Mykhalovskiy and Frank Pearce were generous in giving the manuscript close readings The CJS reviewers requested some needed corrections Pam Shime suggested the example of ??Intelligent Design ?
