Seoul: Mapping the World
I see maps of the world and of Germany at different locations in the school. Different such ‘mappings of the world’ hang in the hallways as well as in the classroom: climate maps, political maps as well as a sticker with the slogan “world tour” that shows different means of traveling as well as the school’s location.
The map in year eight’s classroom explicitly asks for a change in perspective and thus critically reflects upon dominant mappings of the world.
What I do not see anywhere is a map of South Korea.
