Governing [disciplining/policing] demands an order that is materially and discursively tangible and categorizable and this order is predicated on certainty and determinacy. What spills out of the apparatus or refuses to be captured within its defined boundaries, remains invisible and inaudible; absent figures, silent voices and all that tends to constitute nothingness or that gets set aside as unimportant. However, what appears to be 'nothingness, that which is left out of the sensible - at the level of the political in all its inconsistencies and indeterminacies that challenge assumptions - does have a non-identifiable 'somethingness!

A 'somethingness' that is apparent in the shape of absence and silence.
