摘要：The argument focuses upon two of the four 'major institutions of the modern world' which Wallerstein (1984:29) identifi es. Whereas there are large literatures which provide 'modernist' interpretations of both classes and nations, this is less clear-cut in the cases of states and households. This may well be because of the simple continuities in spatial form with the latter two institutions. In the case of states, for instance, the medieval English kingdom is one of several states which cover approximately the same terri-tory as the successor early modern kingdom implying continuity rather than a discontinuity. In the case of households, continuity can be represented by the dictum 'an Englishman's home is his castle.' It is these simple spatialities which have encouraged me to explore the modernities of states and house-holds through a critical territoriality approach
