Géographie et cartographie radicale.
En août 2012 s’est tenu à Toronto une conférence de géo et carto radicale (Mapping Transnational Space,July 23/24 2012,CCGES, York University). Je n’ai pas pu y aller, mais j’avais demandé à Cécile Gintrac (qui est géographe et enseigne dans le secondaire) de me dire quelles présentations elle avait préféré. Voici ses réponses :
1 - Christian Bittner « Old Game, new Rules ?
Web 2.0 Mapping in Israel/Palestine », sur les nouveaux outils de cartographie en ligne (ex : Zochrot.org qui représente les villages détruits en Israël ; Palestine Crisis Maps qui recense les accrochages et représente le conflit ; le site de Steven Feldman, Gaza and the Rockets) Dans une certaine mesure, cette démocratisation de la cartographie, certes limitée, correspond à l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs.
Zochrot and the Nakba map
Nakba is an Arabic word that means “catastrophe.” The Nakba was the destruction, expulsion, looting, massacres and incidents of rape of the Palestinian inhabitants of this country. It was keeping refugees out by force at the end of the war, in order to establish the Jewish state. And it is the ongoing destruction of Palestinian localities, the disregard for the rights of refugees and displaced people, and the prohibition against teaching and commemorating the Nakba in schools and civic groups.
Zochrot will act to promote Israeli Jewish society’s acknowledgement of and accountability for the ongoing injustices of the Nakba and the reconceptualization of Return as the imperative redress of the Nakba and a chance for a better life for all the country’s inhabitants.
Zochrot will act to challenge the Israeli Jewish public’s preconceptions and promote awareness, political and cultural change within it to create the conditions for the Return of Palestinian Refugees and a shared life in this country.
Zochrot carries out different projects to advance understanding of Nakba and Return. This website is one of those projects. The site presents information about the Palestinian localities that Israel destroyed in 1948 and about the Nakba’s place in our lives today. The Nakba and Return are spoken in different voices on this site — in photographs, testimonies, maps, prose, and more. Zochrot’s is one of these voices, a voice that seeks recognition for injustice and new paths toward change and repair.
2 - « Jess Bier The Colonizer in the Computer : the Bristish Influence in Palestinian Authority Cartography » : cette géographe montre comment la cartographie palestinienne s’est faite à partir des anciennes cartes coloniales britanniques. Digitalisation des cartes britanniques. Cela a toujours des impacts : les cartes britanniques avaient laissé de côté certains lieux ce qui conduit Jérusalem à les revendiquer.
3 - « Mapping the External Borders of the European Union through Emergency Measures : Frontex and Rapid Border Intervention Teams » : le travail sur Frontex de Andrew Burridge, The RABITs Rapid Border Intervention Teams, qui interviennent en cas d’urgence et de pression migratoire exceptionnelle à la demande des Etats qui le demandent.

Zochrot, une organisation qui cherche à sensibiliser le public israélien à la Naqba
►http://zochrot.org/en
Zochrot ("Remembering") seeks to raise public awareness of the Palestinian Nakba, especially among Jews in Israel, who bear a special responsibility to remember and amend the legacy of 1948. The principal victims of the Nakba were the Palestinians, especially the refugees, who lost their entire world. But Jews in Israel also pay a price for their conquest of the land in 1948, living in constant fear and without hope.
