Atlas of Prejudice: The World According to a Facebook User

Kindle | Paperback | Hardcover

[bialerwochenblat]

The Atlas of Mental Maps is an exhibiton of unique mental maps—maps depicting their authors’ personal perceptions of an area–created by Holocaust survivors and non-Jews, both portraying in a graphic manner their former homes: cities, towns and villages, which are located within the present-day borders of Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Moldova and Slovakia. Although these places were for centuries part of a multiethnic and linguistically and religiously diverse Eastern European expanse with a considerable Yiddish-speaking Jewish presence, the vast majority of them, if not all, were destroyed or radically changed during the Second World War. The uniqueness and specificity of that expanse has been lost and “unremembered,” and, thus today that area can be considered a forgotten continent or a blank spot in the collective consciousness of Europeans.

The virtual exhibition features a gallery of the maps from yizker-bikher (memorial books) and the holdings of the “Grodzka Gate–NN Theater” Center, as well as additional material highlighting selected maps (e.g., of the Polish town of Jedwabne and the Ukrainian village of Felshtin, both struck by violent pogroms in 1941 and 1919 respectively). On the website you will find documentation of our exhibit at the NN Gallery from May 2019, the exhibit's catalogue, and a gallery of compass roses drawn in mental maps by their authors. Furthermore, the virtual exhibition features a special section about professional Yiddish language cartography and includes a collection of Yiddish maps and a short glossary of Yiddish geography terms.

TrumpWorld:  Geographers tell us that we carry around “mental maps” or “cognitive geographies” around in our heads. Given his harsh recent comments on immigration, the current U.S. president seems to adhere the satirical mental map above, as illustrated by Peter Kuper in The New Yorker Magazine (12 Jan. 2018).

Exploring the Mind of Mickey

One really weird thing that teachers do is think about thinking.  I mean, how can a person actually teach someone else how to think and how to learn if they don’t themselves understand the underlying processes?  Now that I have retired from teaching and spend all my time feeling sorry for myself, I thought I would try thinking about thinking one more time at least.  Hey, just because I am…
