Agamben's "What is an Apparatus?" deals with structures controlling..

  • Economic systems

  • Social relations

  • Muscular movements

  • Environmental policies

Answer

Social relations are controlled by apparatuses, which are assemblages of discursive and non-discursive practices, technologies, and institutions. They produce and regulate knowledge, power, and subjectivity, shaping individuals and society as a whole. Apparatuses are pervasive and can be found in various forms, from the education system and media to the legal system and architectural design.
