Locating Palestine

Toenjes, Ashley M

Abstract Details

2020, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Geography.
This dissertation calls into question dominant frames of territory by critically evaluating their ontological and epistemological assumptions. Relieving the temporal of its treatment as a controlled variable in spatial analysis, I conceptualize an ontology of dyslocation, informed by a methodology of nautical charting. The theoretical framework takes shape through considerations of the contested territory of Palestine-Israel. Through the case of Palestine-Israel, I argue that the territorial frames we are conditioned to use obfuscate actually existing complexities in ways that hinder the work toward just and sovereign futures in Palestine-Israel and beyond. These arguments develop through visual analysis of the Palestinian Land Loss Map and ethnographic analysis from immersive fieldwork among Palestine solidarity workers in Chicago.
