It is clear regimes remain both entities which structure practices, and entities which are produced by practices. Equally, we have noted the discursive and constructed character of regimes … every regime is marked by an outside that partially constitutes its identity, and which carries the threat of subverting it. And this ontological assumption is linked to our claim that every order and practice arises as a political construction that involves the exclusion of certain possibilities.
There is no typology of practices as such, only practices for which one or more ontological dimensions are foregrounded, bckgrounded, or articulated. For this reason, the boundary between social and political practices is blurred, as is the boundary between regimes and practices. 123
