The modern state is distinctive for its bureaucratic organization, official procedures, and accountability that in the colonial context of governing at a distance instituted a vast system of recordation bearing semblance to and yet differing markedly from the Victorian administrative state. The colonial rule of difference that shaped liberal governmentality introduced new categories of rule that were nested in the procedures and records and could be unraveled from the archive of colonial governance. Such an exercise is attempted here for certain key epistemic categories such as space, time, measurement, classification and causality that have enabled the constitution of modern knowledge and the social scientific discourses of 'economy,' 'society,' and 'history.' The different chapters engage with how enumerative technologies of rule led to proliferating measurements and classifications as fields and objects came within the purview of modern governance rendering both statistical knowledge and also new ways of acting on objects and new discourses of governance and the nation. The postcolonial implications of colonial governmentality are examined with respect to both planning techniques for attainment of justice and the role of information in the constitution of neoliberal subjects"--Provided by publisher.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Foucault, Michel,</subfield><subfield code="d">1926-1984</subfield><subfield code="x">Political and social views.</subfield><subfield code="9">582</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Statistics</subfield><subfield code="x">Political aspects</subfield><subfield code="z">India</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield><subfield code="9">4076</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">State, The.</subfield><subfield code="9">3370</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">India</subfield><subfield code="x">Politics and government</subfield><subfield code="y">1765-1947.</subfield><subfield code="9">1755</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">India</subfield><subfield code="x">Statistical services</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield><subfield code="9">4077</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Great Britain</subfield><subfield code="x">Colonies</subfield><subfield code="x">Administration</subfield><subfield code="x">History.</subfield><subfield code="9">4078</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="t">Rule by numbers</subfield><subfield code="d">Lanham : Lexington Books, [2014]</subfield><subfield code="z">9780739189351 (cloth : alkaline paper)</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2014020490</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="2">udc</subfield><subfield code="c">BK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="0">0</subfield><subfield code="1">0</subfield><subfield code="2">udc</subfield><subfield code="4">0</subfield><subfield code="6">350782541719KAL</subfield><subfield code="7">0</subfield><subfield code="9">35618</subfield><subfield code="a">CSSSC</subfield><subfield code="b">CSSSC</subfield><subfield code="d">2022-05-19</subfield><subfield code="e">Gifted by Prof. Partha Chatterjee.</subfield><subfield code="l">0</subfield><subfield code="o">35.078.2(54)"17/19"KAL</subfield><subfield code="p">G-7229</subfield><subfield code="r">2022-05-19 00:00:00</subfield><subfield code="w">2022-05-19</subfield><subfield code="x">Indian print available under G-7074.</subfield><subfield code="y">BK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="999" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="c">32234</subfield><subfield code="d">32234</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
