Abstract
The conceptual proposal of a government of things takes up important insights and theoretical achievements of new materialist scholarship. It shares the interest in reconceptualizing matter and the focus on the interplay of epistemological, ontological, and ethical issues, and insists on the limits of anthropocentric modes of thought. However, in synthesizing Foucault’s analytics of government with the STS-inspired work, the concept of a government of things also goes beyond new materialist scholarship. It puts forward a relational and performative account of materialities that more closely attends to the historical and political dimensions of ontogenesis.
