REGULATING

Creating the tools for legislating

 
‘Will the order here, the internal one and the one of organised men for living, manage to avoid the infinite disorder that lies out there?’

(From Gilles Clément on-board diary, 18 September – 18 October 2004)

 
This chapter picks up on what was dealt with more generally in the paragraphs ‘Attesting’ and ‘Institutionalising oneself’ (contained in the chapter entitled ‘Archiving oneself’) to highlight and list the elements created one by one, to organise the internal bureaucratic system of my archive and to regulate it in relation to the external world.
Some of these entities are only tools for governing, others have assumed the status of work and others have in turn given rise to other works.
