Abstract
The territory of colonialism. Territory, Politics, Governance. Stuart Elden writes of territory as a specific form of
sovereignty, and has provided its genealogy through a study of European texts. These texts drew upon a
Roman legacy and engaged the practical issue of the relations between papal and monarchical powers.
This paper argues that colonialism was at least as important a context for the elaboration of territory as a
strategy of sovereignty. Furthermore, and as the example of Ireland shows, this colonial practice was not
only a matter external to Europe.
