Literary notes about territorial (AI summary)
The term "territorial" has been employed in literature with a remarkable range, oscillating between concrete physical boundaries and more abstract notions of jurisdiction, identity, and strategic maneuvering. In historical narratives like those of Dumas [1] and Suetonius [2], the word implies actual land possessions and social status, whereas in works such as Joyce’s [3] and Herzl’s [4, 5], it takes on an extended meaning, denoting extra-territorial privileges and legal peculiarities in religious or political contexts. In sociological and strategic texts by authors like Burgess and Park [6, 7] and de Jomini [8, 9], "territorial" frames both community divisions and military logistics. Even in discussions of post-war and colonial adjustments, as seen in Keynes [10, 11, 12] and Bone [13], the term underscores the significance of delineated, often contentious, national and international power boundaries. Additionally, works by Thurston [14, 15, 16] highlight the administrative and ethnic dimensions embedded within territorial divisions, while Helen Keller [17] invokes it to express the tangible reality of place and the experiential disconnect when such realities fade from accessibility.
