With the intention of outlining the criteria for designing an effective resistance strategy against the constant and ruthless defamation to which ultra-liberal governments suchs as the Argentine one subject scientific knowledge in all its forms, thus trying to justify the total defunding of research, firstly this article considers the performance of the diagnostic and critical tools developed by Michel Foucault ; secondly on the basis of his archeo-genealogies, it attempts to establish the origin and scope of the « veridictional regime » in force and, finally, it attempts to identify some of those inquiries that, in our field, can operate as « counter-sciences » capable of putting into crisis or, in the extreme, challenging such a regime.
