Traditionally, medical anthropologists and science and technology scholars have understood medical authority as a discursive, normalizing power generated through institutional knowledge; by creating medical knowledge about the body, and then circulating this knowledge through medical textbooks, research journals, and practitioner training programs, medical and educational institutions create particular scientific discourses that become standardized ‘regimes of truth’ (Foucault, 1973, 1980; Starr, 1984).	cache/spir-13962.pdf	txt/spir-13962.txt
