The present work aims to map the discursive order in its biopolitical relationship with the field of Communication. Using the method of bibliographical research, we started with the premise that the foulcaldian discursive order is essentially a tool of power rather than an approach to truth. Therefore, we intend to dissect the problem of the institutionalization of language and Communication. When it becomes institutionalized, desire is forced to manifest under the apparently translucent form of discourse, where the discipline kingdom of biopolitics take place, limiting the satisfaction of desire to the institutional realm. Biopolitics, the modern form of controlling multitudes, works by controlling individuals, their bodies, their spirits and, of course, their discourse. In conclusion, we state that not all discourses are valid but only those shaped and coded by the institution, the instance of power that says which discourses are able to say the truth, leaving behind the instances of desire, dialogue and Communication.
