Abstract
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.
