Blurring the geo-body: mental maps of Israel/Palestine / Ben-Zeev, Efrat   Article
Ben-Zeev, Efrat Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article explores how geographical forms of Israel/Palestine are represented in maps sketched by high school students. The results show that they are significantly different from the geopolitical map, demonstrating the unique ways through which these students think about the national territory. The paper probes two sources that feed into the country's geographical image: its ongoing politics of treating boundaries as potential frontiers, and the school curriculum, which conveys a double message regarding borders. This image of a blurred geo-body invites for creative resolutions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Mental maps and Canada’s post-war Asian policy / Webster, David   Journal Article
Webster, David Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article takes up the concept of mental maps as lens through which to survey Canada–Asia relations. Before Canadians could embrace Asia politically and economically, they had to stop imagining Asia as culturally distant. Their mental maps—the way they imagined the world—formed the invisible background to policy-making. Through an engagement with Greg Donaghy’s work on Canadian relations with Asia, this article makes the case for using mental maps to understand trans-Pacific relations.

Nomadic State of Mind: Mental Maps of Bedouins in the Negev and Sinai During the Time of the Ottomans, the British Mandate, and the State of Israel / Galilee, Emir   Journal Article
Galilee, Emir Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article is based on over a decade of field research among Bedouin tribes of the Negev as well as historical and geographical research. Its central argument is that the main social, cultural, and geographical processes within the Negev Bedouin groups are impacted by three major forces: nomadism and the social structure; formal Islam; and the rise of the modern state. This argument is illustrated by the geographical concept of “mental maps”, and its various manifestations in Bedouin society. The article focuses on the historical developments of the twentieth century, which took place alongside the rise of the Zionist movement and the establishment of the State of Israel.
