guillaume de la perriere via foucault:
"...in la perriere's text you will notice that the definition of government in no way refers to territory.  one governs things.  i do not think think this is  matter of opposing things to men, but rather of showing that what government has to do with is not territory but rather a sort of complex composed of men and things."
