It is based on ideas contained in some of Foucault’s works, discussing questions regarding the way fatherhood’s thuth is produced by legal discourse. Among results, there are uses and effects of technical and scientific arguments in the dialogue between legal discourse and other discourses, such as Medicine and Psychology.
