Parchis, requêtes et bureaux. La matérialité de la bureaucratie dans le Pakistan urbain
Publié en 2012, l’ouvrage de Matthew S. Hull, Government of Paper: The Materiality of Bureaucracy in Urban Pakistan, propose une exploration historique et ethnographique de l’administration pakistanaise à partir d’une analyse originale des pratiques documentaires bureaucratiques.

Bureaucratic Technologies and Political Subjects
In 2013, the Indian state of Punjab contracted with a corporation to operate a new police phone helpline. The corporation call centre not only electronically logged complaints, but also monitored, directed and reported police responses to them. We can see in this arrangement two parallel tensions.The first tension is between two different forms of human and technological mediation: the paper-based records of police and the voice and electronic da…
Understanding individual differences
Understanding users' individual differences may provide clues to help identify computer users who are prone to act insecurely. We examine factors that impact home users' reported computer security behaviour. We conducted two online surveys with a total of 650 participants to investigate the relationship between self-reported security behaviour and users' knowledge, motivation, confidence, risk propensity and sex-typed characteristics. We found th…
An Emergency Powered Air-Purifying Respirator From Local Materials and its Efficacy Against Aerosolized Nanoparticles
We describe an approach used by a rural healthcare provider to convert surgical helmets into emergency powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The approach uses common materials and efficacy was demonstrated against aerosols measuring 7 nm to 25 μm in diameter

The materiality of indeterminacy … on paper, at least
Response to Hau Book Symposium on HULL, Matthew. 2012. Government of paper: The materiality of bureaucracy in urban Pakistan. Berkeley: University of California Press
Documents and Bureaucracy
This review surveys anthropological and other social research on bureaucratic documents. The fundamental insight of this literature is that documents are not simply instruments of bureaucratic organizations, but rather are constitutive of bureaucratic rules, ideologies, knowledge, practices, subjectivities, objects, outcomes, even the organizations themselves. It explores the reasons why documents have been late to come under ethnographic scrutin…
Government of Paper
In "Government of Paper: The Materiality of Bureaucracy in Urban Pakistan," Matthew S. Hull explores how paper documents shape governance and citizenship in Pakistan. Focusing on the everyday practices of clerks and citizens navigating bureaucratic processes in Karachi, Hull argues that paper is not simply a neutral medium but a powerful actor in shaping social relations and power dynamics. He demonstrates how the materiality of paper-its physica…
Communities of Place, Not Kind
In 1956 the Indian Government invited the Ford Foundation to assist with a master plan for the Delhi region. Two years later, the invitation was extended to help with a separate urban community development program. Even though the master plan was a comprehensive project covering transportation, water, sewage, housing, industry, and zoning, the creation of community and communities was one of its main goals. TheDraft Master Plan for Delhi(DMPD) de…
Democratic Technologies of Speech
This article traces putatively democratic speech and interactional techniques from their development during WWII to their translation into postindependence Delhi community development projects led by Ford Foundation consultants. Moving beyond a focus on high-level development discourse, this article describes the techniques of speech through which development was brought to ground and the ways of speaking that community development promoted in it…
Ruled by records
In this article, I investigate the ongoing battle between villagers on the outskirts of Islamabad, Pakistan, and the state development agency attempting to expropriate their land. This battle has been waged through the medium of documents, particularly lists, which villagers and colluding officials have used to defraud the Pakistani government of the equivalent of millions of dollars. Through this case study, I develop an approach to contemporary…
