Document Summary
Audra simpson and the politics of refusal: the failure of settler-colonial assimilation, their national identi cation continues ! Sovereignty not necessarily about territory/property -membership, community and belonging ! Ex war of 1812 citizenship, metis resistance - sovereignty is nested in relationships ! Long chronology of 1760-1867: conquest, american revolution, war of 1812, responsible government, confederation, metis rebellions! Control and possession of territory, blurred de nitions of imperium and dominium ! The authority carried into space by agents (of empire) -agents delegated to imperial authority - the creation of an imperial space ! The legal order: determining law, appointing judges, asserting jurisdiction ! Global order was composed of anomalous legal zones (overlapping) rather than solid distinctive territories! Search for sovereignty played out as a legal ordering of space -the political administration: treaties, law, legislation -information: maps, travel narratives, cultural documents ! Imperial sovereignty and contradictions: sovereignty int he past was nested, divisible, territorial !
