| Long abstract | The word ex-traterritoriality is as multivalent as the space it describes. It is a legal coinage signifying personal immunity from local laws, the borderless space of the free seas, and a state’s power to extend jurisdic-tion across borders; recently, it has also become a key concept in philosophical debates about what Giorgio Agamben calls the “state of exception as a para-digm of government.”1 More broadly, extraterritoriality has begun to figure as the object of cultural meditations on the rela-tion between subjection and autonomy, stasis and movement, and exile and belonging — a discourse that has implications for intellectuals in many fields but has so far been most prominent in architectural studies.2Yet with few exceptions, literary critics have not engaged with it — and when they have, extraterritoriality has generally been mistaken as synonymous with a state of multilingual plenitude and postnational migrancy. |
