Dear Kevin,
I've pasted below some that you may find useful. Many have a geographical tilt, but this may be interesting for your "government of things" work. I used this lit to help me understand the use of legal mechanisms against anti-colonial/religious nationalist campaigners in colonial Delhi. More broadly I was considering the very real intersection of discipline and law in practice. I've written this up in a chapter for a forthcoming book, which uses some comments from Foucault's forthcoming lectures, which you're welcome to have a look at if you like...

i realise that all of his work is somewhat related to the law, so that is why i am asking for legal analysis, that is, by some jurisprudence scholar type person...
