1 Knots of State-like power Bernard E. Harcourt University of Chicago

2 M. Foucault, La Société punitive Leçon du 28 mars 1973, p. 233 The state apparatus is a concentrated form, or a support structure, of a system of power that goes much beyond it and far deeper.

3 Rather they are multiplier-relays of power within a society where the state-like structure remains the functional condition of these institutions.

4 It is not a state apparatus. It is an apparatus enmeshed in the state-like knot. An intra-state-like system. Foucault, La Société punitive, Leçon du 21 mars 1973, folio 12 (reproduced on page 215 note a )
