Jackson, R. Unknown knowns: The subjugated knowledge of terrorism studies, Critical Studies on Terrorism, Volume 5, Issue 1, April , Pages
Abstract
This article employs Foucault&#;s concept of &#;subjugated knowledges&#; to explore forms of knowledge which provide explanations of the nature, causes and solutions to terrorism and political violence, but which have been suppressed and silenced within the terrorism studies field. Subjugated knowledges include historical knowledges that are present within the functional and systemic ensemble of terrorism studies itself, but which have been masked by more dominant forms of knowledge, as well as knowledges outside of the field that have been disqualified and excluded as naïve, inferior or below the required level of scientificity. This article analyses some of the primary mechanisms and processes by which knowledge subjugation takes place in terrorism studies and the consequences of such suppressions and exclusions. It argues that the presence of subjugated knowledge means that the field exists in a highly unstable condition where certain forms of knowledge are simultaneously known and unknown and where eruptions of subjugate

Michel Foucault
Michel Foucault, born as Paul-Michel Foucault on October 15, , in Poitiers, France, was a French philosopher, historian of ideas, writer, political activist, and literary critic[1†][2†]. He is recognized as one of the most influential and controversial scholars of the post-World War II period[1†]. His theories primarily address the relationships between power and knowledge, and how they are used as a form of social control through societal institutions[1†][2†].
Foucault was educated at the Lycée Henri-IV, at the École Normale Supérieure, where he developed an interest in philosophy and came under the influence of his tutors Jean Hyppolite and Louis Althusser, and at the University of Paris (Sorbonne), where he earned degrees in philosophy and psychology[1†][2†]. His thought has influenced academics, especially those working in communication studies, anthropology, psychology, sociology, criminology, cultural studies, literary theory, feminism, Marxism, and critical theory[1†][2†].
Early Years and Education
Michel Foucault was born on October 15, , in Poitiers, France, into an upper-middle-class family[1†][2†]. His father, Paul Foucault, was an eminent surgeon
The Undercommons and Subjugated Knowledge: The Powers of Non-State Practices that Decolonize Knowledge

In Michel Foucault’s work, Power/Knowledge: Selected Interviews and Other Writings , I am interested in thinking about the relationship with his theory about power and knowledge. For Foucault, power and knowledge is within the “articulation of each other [1].” In this, there is a type of knowledge and hypervisibility that has a historical tone, and this feature is scientific [2]. For this essay I will summarize some of Foucault’s theories about power and knowledge, because it provides a pedagogy to think about the performative structure of knowledge. In that, there is a performance of power that upholds certain knowledge as important. Foucault’s argument that I am interested in are how the state produces discourse that is scientific and upheld socio-historically. More specifically, I am interested in his ideas about “subjugated knowledge,” because this can be either unconscious and ideological knowledge that is informed by history, or outside knowledge, non-state knowledges of everyday life and experience [3]. What I am really interested in for this critical res
