Description: Noga Kadman will discuss her new book “Erased from Space and Consciousness”. Published in August 2015, the book explores various practices through which the Palestinian villages depopulated in 1948, are being erased and marginalized in the awareness and collective memory of Israelis. The book focuses on naming and mapping village sites, villages within tourist sites, and Jewish communities established on depopulated villages. Noga Kadman is an Israeli geographer and guide who explores the encounters of Israelis with the Palestinian presence in the landscape and history of the country. She co-edited “Once Upon a Land: A Tour Guide to Depopulated Palestinian Villages and Towns”. She is a researcher in the field of human rights and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as a tour guide who deals mostly with hidden Palestinian layers of the landscape in Israel.
