are they so very different?
the reason i asked about dreyfus and rabinow's rendering of dispositif as
grid of intelligibility is that they state that a 'dispositif is, of

dispositif is both an apparatus or deployment that is being analysed, and
the means by which, and through which, such a decipherment is carried out.
