Cartographies of Nature
How Nature Conservation Animates Borders
The ascendancy of border studies in the last two decades or so, and the burgeoning work on nature and society neither drew attention to ecological theories of borders nor capitalised on nature as a useful avenue through which border research could be advanced. This volume fills this void by engaging with the following key questions: What insights can be drawn from species’ borders to broaden understandings of bordering? What sorts of borders are engendered by various types of conservation areas? What border stories does each of these areas tell us?…
This volume expands the links between nature conservation and border studies, showing how nature conservation produces borders. By exploring species’ borders and those created by conservation areas, it enriches our conceptualisation of borders.

Theoretical Geography
Outlining the Unified Theory of Geography
A distinctive feature of the current development of geographical science is the change in ideas and overcoming uncertainty in the study of geographical perception of the surrounding world. In addition, new opportunities for such research and the use of new tools of knowledge appear. Such approaches presuppose not only a traditional description of the surrounding world, but also a definition of how such a description should be carried out. The representation of the surrounding world in the form of a unified geographical space leads to consequences around the need to…
Geographical science is changing. By studying the world as a unified geographical space, researchers analyze natural and social structures to identify the fundamental patterns of their development and formulate the general laws of nature that govern them.

Cartographies of Cloth
Mapping the Veil in Culture and Contemporary Art
As we must know, the hijab has been historically considered in Euro-America a symbol of difference between east and west. The hijab was also mostly seen and described as awful regarding gender, politics, visuality, and the conception of self. Even France still has a law against it. Surprisingly, the Muslim woman's veil constitutes a common site in Euro-American visual culture. Contemporary veil art has helped inspire some scholarship which has begun to broach the topic of the veil specifically, examining its role in colonial, modernist, feminist, and Muslim discourses, probing…
This book maps the veil in contemporary art to challenge mainstream representations. Arguing for the veil’s multivalence, it explores its myriad meanings and its link to the wider issues of gender, politics, and identity, offering important alternative narratives.
