of studies have presented nation-state formation as a top-bottom process characterized by expanding territorial centralization and coercion over people. More recently, to challenge the previous approach, researchers have offered a bottom-up narrative, which
shows the local embeddedness of nascent nation-state power structures and the neglected centrality of local resistance against the rising nation-state. Rather than emphasizing the centralization/coercion process or the state vs. the local struggle, this talk
will explore the role of spatial uniformization in the emergence of nation-state power structures. The case under analysis is the cadastral triangulation of France in early modernity. This talk will clarify how the problematic implementation of cadastral survey
had unforeseen uniformizing effects that enabled the production of a new image of France as a national and homogeneous territory in the postrevolutionary era.</font></span></p>

is a Ph.D. Candidate in Sociology at Harvard University. His dissertation investigates the nationalization of the cadastre in France between 1763 and 1807. The dissertation forms one part of his larger effort to study processes and systems of valuation. For
his research in this area, he received in 2011 the Edward Shils-James Coleman Memorial Award and the honorable mention in the Richard Peterson Prize, both awarded by the American Sociological Association. </font></span></div>
