DIS/ORIENTING ‘MIDDLE EAST’: A CART-RHETORICAL RHIZOMATIC MAPPING A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Eda Ozyesilpinar May 2018 Accepted by: Dr. Cynthia Haynes, Committee Chair Dr. Victor Vitanza Dr. James Spencer Dr. Amit Bein ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on the association between the geopolitical region Middle East and the unjust profiling of Islamic terrorism. I examine this connection from the lens of border- politics and deconstruct Western cartographic discourses that constructed the current misrepresentative and extensively totalizing identity of Middle East as the land of Muslim terrorists. My conjecture is framed around Karen Culcasi’s argument on how Middle East was re- invented in the discourse of Orientalism during the early twentieth century. To challenge the region’s current misrepresentative and unjust socio-spatial identity, I map how the region’s inherently othered identity under the European gaze of Orientalism has arrived to its current state as a result of changing discourses of power and geopolitical relations throughout the twentieth century. In this light, I investigate three central questions in this dissertation: 1) How the discourse of global war on terrorism has emerged from the haunting image of the Oriental discourse and continues to respond and counter-respond to the great Middle Eastern question: continuous reproductions of the region in the totalizing image of the Western tree- system. 2) How this continual process of reproducing Middle East in the same problematic rhetoric has mirrored itself into re-constructing the cartographic reality of the region both in its Western perceptions and Middle/Eastern receptions: internalization of the Western tree-image and finally arriving to the Islamic tree-system of a violent and fundamental ideology of terrorism. 3) How these cartographic reproductions have been suppressing the diverse identities in the region while these socio-spatial formations have always already been disrupting various systems of subordinations: how the internalized tree-system of the West and its tap-roots have been cutting the lines and paths of the rhizomatic identities of the region. ii As I unpack these three questions, I approach the Western modern scientific knowledge production and information design (dominant mode of production) as a form of alienating rhetorical re-invention. I best understand the working structure of the Western rhetoric of alienation through Walter Benjamin’s notion of ‘mechanical reproduction.’ I draw from cartographic hermeneutics and cartographic deconstruction to unpack how the Western ground logic of this machinic system has been re-inventing the socio-spatial consciousness of Middle East. I argue that the unjust image of Middle East as the land of Muslim terrorists has been another process for Western society to re-define its non-Western other. I define the mapping of this project as a dis/orienting rhizomatic mapping which draws from Deleuze and Guattari’s models of rhizome and tree-system. As I analyze the shifting discourses to map the shifting borders, changing names, and transforming otherness of Middle East, I approach the Western process of re-inventing and homogenizing Middle East as a tree- system while I read the region’s organic heterogeneity and complex relations of meaning-making as rhizomatic. In this light, I conduct a carto-rhetorical deconstruction on the cartographic discourses (maps of dominant gaze) representing Middle East with a focus on the rhetorical and narrative qualities of maps as technical documents. The central agenda is to dis/other the geography of Middle East by mapping with its rhizomatic socio-spatial identities and to write an anti-memory challenging the Islamic stereotypes and prejudices that have been produced in the dominant vision and discourses of alienation, enemization, and victimization of the region iii DEDICATION I dedicate this dissertation to all the amazing women who shaped me as the writer that I am today.

Introduction Popular constitution making, a process that allows for public participation as opposed to a handful of elites writing a fundamental social contract behind closed doors and imposing it on the rest of society, is tricky. It sounds like a noble idea in theory, but it is difficult to execute effectively, efficiently, and, most importantly, democratically. Even trickier are the roles of publicity and media in popular constitution making. What are the consequences of reporting during the drafting of a new constitution? In what ways could the media lend legitimacy to the process by informing the public and incorporating public opinion into the drafting of a constitution? Coupled with the rise of new media technologies, an ideal of participatory constitution making (and an active role for the media) may seem desirable, not to mention attainable, but there are myriad ways to participate, and basing a constitution on popular opinion could easily devolve into a majority of 50 percent plus one that imposes its will on the rest. The bare minimum, ideally, is to expect journalists to report on facts without bowing to political or economic pressures, but even that is easier said than done. For which audiences are these journalistic facts intended? For those leaders drafting the new constitution or the public at large? These are not easy questions to answer empirically, not only because media and communications are often neglected in studies of constitution making, but also because the relationship between the two is hard to ascertain precisely.

Following an EU Council Joint Action of 20 July 2001, modified by the Joint Action of 21 December 2006, it is now an integral part of the new structures that will support the further development of the CFSP/ESDP. The Institute’s core mission is to provide analyses and recommendations that can be of use and relevance to the formulation of EU policies. In carrying out that mission, it also acts as an interface between experts and decision-makers at all levels. Occasional Papers are essays or reports that the Institute considers should be made avail- able as a contribution to the debate on topical issues relevant to European security. They may be based on work carried out by researchers granted awards by the EUISS, on contri- butions prepared by external experts, and on collective research projects or other activities organised by (or with the support of) the Institute. They reflect the views of their authors, not those of the Institute. Publication of Occasional Papers will be announced in the EUISS Newsletter and they will be available on request in the language - either English or French - used by authors.

  • Strategic Geography and the Changing
    Prosiding Seminar Nasional (Pendidikan Geografi, FISH UNESA) Surabaya, 23 Mei 2017 PENGELOLAAN POTENSI MARITIM INDONESIA Strategic Geography and the Changing Indo-Pacific: Lesson from Australia by Juniawan Priyono and Purnomo Yusgiantoro Indonesia Defence University e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Australia’s 2016 Defence White Paper reflects a revolution in the way in which Australia thinks about its strategic geography. Strategic geography refers to the control of, or access to, spatial areas that has an impact on the security and economic prosperity of nations. The “Indo-Pacific” has now decisively displaced the “Asia-Pacific” as defence planners’ preferred term for describing their neighborhood. The Indo-Pacific can be understood as a maritime super-region with its geographical center in Southeast Asia. The reawakening of the Indo-Pacific reflects three wider realities, first, its geographically-defined interests and economic-societal enmeshment with Asia. Second, the rebalancing imperatives of the US alliance. Third, the fact that the major states of Asia have some fundamental economic and strategic drivers. 1. Introduction Australia’s 2016 Defence White Paper (DWP) marks the return of geography to defence planning. The Turnbull government’s DWP clearly recognises geographical strategic imperatives. It lists Australia’s strategic defence interests as: (i) a secure, resilient Australia, with secure northern approaches and proximate sea lines of communication; (ii) a secure nearer region, encompassing maritime Southeast Asia and the South Pacific; and (iii) a stable Indo-Pacific region and a rules-based global order. According to Dibb (2016), it seems that they now have close to bipartisan agreement on the geographical priorities that support Australian defence planning.

The common question “Where are you from?” is often used as a means of pinning an individual's history to a geographic location. Underlying this question is the assumption that people invest their identities in place – and that place is home. Yet the United States has also long been characterized as the most mobile society in the West. Few Americans are as mobile as active duty military personnel and their families, who engage in long- distance moves an average of once every three years. Youth raised in these circumstances (“military youth”) experience childhoods marked by constant uprooting and resettling. The mobility they know is thoroughly militarized and is rationalized by the state as an unavoidable consequence of the need for national security and readiness.

  • The Interception of the Achille Lauro Hijackers
    Incident* Fighting Terrorism in the 1980's: The Interception of the Achille Lauro Hijackers Gregory V. Goodingt I. Problem On October 10, 1985, United States military aircraft intercepted an Egyptian airliner over the Mediterranean Sea and forced it to land at a NATO base in Sicily. Among those on board were four Palestinians who had recently surrendered after hijacking the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro and holding more than 400 persons hostage for three days. The United States stated that it acted to prevent the hijackers from "fl[ying] ...to their freedom."' This incident brings into dramatic relief the norms governing the actions that a state may permissibly take under in- ternational law to apprehend suspected criminals who are not physically within its jurisdiction. More directly, it forces a reexamination of the previously established norm against the interception of civilian aircraft by military forces. A. The Crime and Jurisdiction There are several preliminary matters which must be discussed before these primary issues can be analyzed. The first is the hijackers' crime. Although there is no international criminal law in the same sense in which each country has its own municipal criminal code, international law proscribes certain conduct and allows national courts and interna- tional tribunals to punish such conduct when it occurs.2 The actions of which the hijackers were accused clearly fall within that class of conduct. * For an introduction to the incident methodology, see Reisman, Introduction to a New Genre in the Study ofInternationalLaw, 10 YALE J.
