Political dimensions:  What are the histories of regulations that concern your object? How do these regulations help constitute it? What kinds of legislation affect it? How is it understood in terms of political positions or policy in the world? How can we articulate the ways it is understood with political discourses? How is it hegemonic—in what ways can we see it as marshaling our consent to dominant orders?  How do political actors make use of it? What are the political positions as seen through the lens of this artifact? How does this matter?
