The paper takes into consideration the problem of confession as a particular case of a technique of the self in the area of university discourse. The article consists of two parts. It opens with a brief description of the Foucauldian concept of governmentality as a theoretical background for the discussion. The main part of the text includes an attempt to justify the thesis that the philosophical concept of confession adequately describes the relationship of knowledge-power that has become popular in discursive practices at contemporary university. In the conditions of „audit culture” and „convergence culture”, the questions of the techniques of confession, that is about the obligatory language and the fiure of the other to whom we confess, have become the key issues.
