Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the French by Kurt Heinzelman. DEMARCATIONS (Territoires) is a book obsessed with the implications for history of post-war worlds, the ones that become newly "demarcated," whether out of victory or defeat. Although DEMARCATIONS was originally published in 1953 in the wake of the Second World War, the lucid yet subtle poems often look back to the rural and largely unautomated world of Follain's turn-of-the-century childhood. This was published in the middle of Follain's career, at the height of his poetic powers and was generally proclaimed by French critics to be his most masterful collection.

With the publication of Specters of Marx in 1993, Jacques Derrida redeemed a longstanding pledge to confront Marx’s texts directly and in detail. His characteristically bravura presentation provided a provocative re-reading of the classics in the Western tradition and posed a series of challenges to Marxism.In a timely intervention in one of today’s most vital theoretical debates, the contributors to Ghostly Demarcations respond to the distinctive program projected by Specters of Marx. The volume features sympathetic meditations on the relationship between Marxism and deconstruction by Fredric Jameson, Werner Hamacher, Antonio Negri, Warren Montag, and Rastko Möcnik, brief polemical reviews by Terry Eagleton and Pierre Macherey, and sustained political critiques by Tom Lewis and Aijaz Ahmad. The volume concludes with Derrida’s reply to his critics in which he sharpens his views about the vexed relationship between Marxism and deconstruction.

What does it mean to own something? What sorts of things can be owned, and what cannot? How does one relinquish ownership? What are the boundaries between private and public property? Over the course of a decade, the French Revolution grappled with these questions. Punctuated by false starts, contingencies, and unexpected results, this process laid the foundations of the Napoleonic Code and modern notions of property.As Rafe Blaufarb demonstrates in this ambitious work, the French Revolution remade the system of property-holding that had existed in France before 1789. The revolutionary changes aimed at two fundamental goals: the removal of formal public power from the sphere of property and the excision of property from the realm of sovereignty. The revolutionaries accomplished these two aims by abolishing privately-owned forms of power, such as jurisdictional lordship and venal public office, and by dismantling the Crown domain, thus making the state purely sovereign. This brought about a Great Demarcation: a radical distinction between property and power from which flowed the critical distinctions between the political and the social, state and society, sovereignty and ownership, the public and private. It destroyed the conceptual basis of the Old Regime, laid the foundation of France's new constitutional order, and crystallized modern ways of thinking about polities and societies. By tracing how the French Revolution created a new legal and institutional reality, The Great Demarcation shows how the revolutionary transformation of Old Regime property helped inaugurate political modernity

The availability of a standard prime meridian for the determination of longitude preoccupied colonial Americans of science from the early settlements to the establishment of the first national observatory two centuries later. It also concerned the founders of the national capital late in the 18th century. The first designation for an American prime meridian was established in 1791 on the site of the proposed capitol building. It was next determined in 1804 for President Jefferson by the surveyor Isaac Briggs, assisted by Nicholas King, marked by a monument that became known as the Jefferson Stone. The later inadvertent destruction of the Jefferson Stone had serious consequences. Consequently, its loss became a significant factor in the late 19th century during the famous litigation between the United States vs. Martin F. Morris, et al, poupularly known as the Potomac Flats case. The accounts of the frenzied efforts to relocate the precise site of the Jefferson Stone and to install another marker in its position made of it what the press called a "monument of errors".

Sm Quarto, , PP.480, Frederick Law Olmsted And America In The 19th Century

335 pp., illustrations, bibliography, index. The North Calotte, which comprises Finnish Lapland, northern Sweden, northern Norway and the Kola Peninsula in Russia, has a history which is fascinating in many respects. The nineteenth century saw the closure of frontiers in the multicultural peripheral regions of northern Europe as well. This study analyses the demarcations of physical and cultural borders that were made in the area and the networks of interaction that existed there. In particular, ethnic relations within the population constituted a source of tension in the history of the region. The work demonstrates that the frequently used dichotomy "pioneer settlers vs Saamis" employs scientifically incommensurable terms; "pioneer settler" refers to an occupational group, "Saami" to an ethnic one. The writer also questions the claim that the authorities deliberately oppressed the Saami as an ethnic group in the nineteenth century. There was political and ethnic oppression, but it would seem to have been directed primarily at the nomadiic reindeer-herding Saamis, not all the Saamis.
