Case of the missing maps: cartographic action in Ho Chi Minh City / Harms, Erik   Journal Article
Harms, Erik Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In May 2018, Ho Chi Minh City officials declared that they had lost the original planning maps to the city’s most important urban development project. The case of the missing maps revealed core tensions about urban planning in the city, galvanized popular resistance to city planning authorities, and prompted a series of investigations into government misdeeds. While it is common to criticize maps as artifacts of state power, this case shows how citizens can reappropriate the meaning of maps and transform them into a form of quasi-legal evidence that demands accountability and responsiveness from state officials in a non-democratic single party state. The transformative entanglement of maps and people, however, works reciprocally – just as social groups can transform the meaning of maps, maps also participate in the transformation of social groups. The concept of “cartographic action” seeks to account for the entangled relationship among maps, political life, and social action.

Is Israel’s low rank on international achievement tests really surprising? / Segev, Elad; Cahan, Sorel ; Casali, Naomi   Journal Article
Segev, Elad Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Israel’s consistently low ranking on international achievement tests has been exclusively attributed to insufficient investments in education or inefficient use of available resources. In contrast, this article shows this low ranking to be a true reflection of Israel’s reality in terms of characteristics that affect the mean ability of its student population to profit from schooling (MAPS). Israel’s actual ranking on the PISA test among the 34 OECD member countries (the lowest decile, in the company of Mexico and Turkey) perfectly matches its expected rank on the basis of MAPS (operationally defined as the proportion of children above the ‘poverty line’).

Mapping Palestine/Israel through interactive documentary / Hudson, Dale   Journal Article
Hudson, Dale Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Available on publicly accessible websites, interactive documentaries are typically free to use, allowing audiences to navigate through amounts of information too large for standard film or television documentaries. Media literacy, however, is needed to understand the ways that interactive documentaries reveal or conceal their power to narrate. Examining ARTE France’s Gaza Sderot (2008–9), Zochrot’s iNakba (2014), and Dorit Naaman’s Jerusalem, We Are Here (2016), this article discusses documentaries that prompt audiences to reflect upon asymmetries in the power to forget history and the responsibility to remember it by mapping Palestinian geographies that have been rendered invisible. Since media ecologies are increasingly militarized, particularly in Palestine/Israel, interactive documentaries like iNakba and Jerusalem, We Are Here can disrupt Israeli state branding as technologically innovative while minimizing risk of surveillance by avoiding the use of location-aware technologies that transform interaction into tracking.

Multiple realities of the growth triangle: mapping knowledge and the politics of mapping / Chou, Cynthia   Journal Article
Chou, Cynthia Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract The Singapore-Indonesia-Malaysia Growth Triangle has been applauded by the governments of the three nation states, economists and transnational corporations as an economic success. However, other stark realities are evident at the local level as well. The Growth Triangle is supplanting older cultural and economic geographies. This has given rise to struggles over rights to territories and resources. Of the three points in the triangle, it is the landscape of Riau-Indonesia that has been transformed most dramatically. A comparative study of the cadastral maps of the administrators of the Growth Triangle versus the community maps of the indigenous peoples shows the differences in their perceived spatial ideas of Riau. It also highlights the different systems of knowledge as upheld by the administrators in contrast to that of the indigenous inhabitants. This comparative study brings to attention the issues of knowledge construction, mapping knowledge and the politics of mapping.

Political status of tibet during the Ming dynasty: an analysis of some historical evidence / Lau, Hon-Shiang   Journal Article
Lau, Hon-Shiang Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This study analyses two authoritative texts and a map from the Ming and Qing eras to examine the political relationship between China and Tibet in the Ming period. It finds that in these documents Tibet was not classified as being a part of the realm governed by the Ming Empire. This casts doubt on the claim advanced by the People’s Republic of China that Tibet has been a part of China ‘since antiquity’. An important conclusion of this study is that, when taking recourse to historical texts to justify or refute territorial claims, the structure and content of the text as a whole, and not just isolated phrases or formulations, should be taken into account.

Representations of ownership: the nineteenth-century painted maps of Shatrunjaya, Gujarat / Ku, Hawon   Journal Article
Ku, Hawon Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This article explains the changes found in patas (cloth paintings) depicting Shatrunjaya, which were produced for Shvetambara Murtipujak Jains during the nineteenth century in Gujarat. These patas differed from earlier tirtha patas in that they were much larger and depicted Shatrunjaya as the central subject matter. They were also meticulous in depicting the topographical and architectural features of the site, and included Palitana, the adjacent town ruled by the Hindu Thakur. The emergence of the site as a centre for Jain pilgrimage, as well as changes in Jain perceptions of the site, led to these transformations

Representing the politics of borders: unorthodox maps in reclus, mackinder and Others / Boria , Edoardo   Article
Boria , Edoardo Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The relationship between cartography and power has aroused much interest in recent years, stimulated by innovative critical approaches. The empiricist and neo-positivist paradigms, no longer satisfactory, have been abandoned, while the analysis has been extended to include not only state-sponsored, but also popular cartography. Regardless of the character of the map or its source, it continues to be inserted in the context of the modern territorial state, as it is perceived as a key instrument for conveying the state’s narrative. Seen in this light, cartography inevitably comes out on the subordinate end of this relationship, since it fully conforms to the orthodox state-centred world view that has dominated modernity. Overturning this mechanically deconstructionist approach, this paper proposes, instead, to apply a concept introduced by John Brian Harley, the father of critical cartography – that of the map’s internal power. This concept, usually considered a given and rarely tested in empirical studies, is evaluated here through an analysis of the border sign in a series of unorthodox maps (in the work of Reclus, Mackinder, Renner, Spykman, Horrabin, Radó, Ratzel, Kjèllen, Haushofer) which have received little scientific attention to date.
