| Abstract: | Residual categories are those which cannot be formally represented within a given classification system. We examine the forms
that residuality takes within our information systems today, and explore some silences which form around those inhabiting
particular residual categories. We argue that there is significant ethical and political work to be done in exploring residuality. |
