{"product_id":"constituting-modernity-huri-islamoglu-9781860649967","title":"Constituting Modernity: Private Property in the East and West","description":"This text originated from a critique of a liberal understanding of property relation as one between a person and a \"thing\". States are perceived to be fundamental obstacles on the way to an individual's appropriation of the \"thing\". State intervention is often considered to be a reason for a presumed absence of private property in non-European contexts. The research presented here contests these assumptions from different perspectives, both in a European and non-European context. As multidisciplinary as it is wide-ranging, the work ranges from practices of the 19th-century Otoman administrative government in the constitution of private property rights to the practice of cadastral mapping in British India. These essays, prepared in collaboration as part of a unified research programme, cover Ottoman and British land laws, property rights in the British colonies, and the notion of property as a contested domain and a site of power relations in 19th-century China.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Huri Islamoglu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1860649963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781860649967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
