[D]istinctions among types of actors [the unconscious, the rabies virus, the print worker] matter less than the fact they are all renegotiating what the world is made up of, who is acting in it, who matters, and who wants what. They area all creating [...] new sources of power and new sources of legitimacy, which are irreducible to those that hitherto coded the so-called political space.
