Inspired by taxonomist Jack GoodyÕs theorizing of Ôancient listsÕ as Ôintellectual technologiesÕ, this book analyzes listing practices in modern and contemporary formations of power, and how they operate in the installation and securing of the milieus of circulation that characterize Michel FoucaultÕs conception of governmentality. Propelling the listÕs role in the delimitation and policing of risky and threatening elements from out of history and into a contemporary analysis of power, this work demonstrates how assemblages of computer, statistical, and list technologies first deployed by the Nazi regime continue to resonate significantly in the segmenting and constitution of a critical classification of contemporary homo sapiens: the terrorist class, or homo sacer.
