Taking Michel Foucault's ideas as a starting point, the text discusses the mechanisms, instances, ways and status involved in the process responsible for transforming a discourse into truth for a given society. To this, will be addressed one case: the society of the Medieval West, more specifically from the Italian peninsula region.</p> ER -
