But we learned about the potentials embedded in modern apparatuses of designation and occupation, and how they can be put to use once carefully unfolded to allow for active problematisation and situated understanding (Haraway, 1992). The culture of inventorying remits us to the material origins of commercial and industrial capitalism, and connects it with the contemporary databa-se-based cosmology of techno-colonialist turbo-capitalism. It is remar-kably colonial and persistently productivist: inventory is linked to invention, and thereby to discovery and acquisition.
Among all of the apparatuses of the Modern Project that persistently operate on present world orderings, naming and account-giving, we chose the inventory with a critical awa-reness of its etymological origin.
