| الوصف: | Belonging, as it were, to a banal reality, experienced as mere informative and everyday images, innocent and indisputable, road signs are part of the process of producing the linguistic landscape. As such, they can shape the values, beliefs, and modes of thought of the users of that space. In light of the fact that everyday spatiality in Israel is a product of the national-institutional construction of power relations between the Jewish majority and the Arab minority, we conceptualize the road-sign system as a political vehicle of the state intended to convey socio-cultural and national values to its citizens. The focus of our article is on the visual and linguistic representations of toponyms in Arabic and Hebrew in the Israeli road-sign system in the Galilee region: we will explore the toponymic inscriptions in Arabic and Hebrew in terms of their positioning and organization on the signs; their prominence in the landscape; and the various ways of writing, translating, and transliterating them.Our analysis exposes a bipartite rhetorical policy of the Israeli agencies involved: on the one hand, there is spatial exclusion of Palestinian memory and a simultaneous attempt to naturalize Palestinian society through various linguistic manipulations whose aim is to cause this society to embrace governmental images at the expense of its own rich toponymic corpus, thus creating an ambiguous sense of place. On the other hand, there is an attempt to establish the identity and related imagery of the Hebrew language, thus supporting the Zionist project, by consolidating the regional consciousness of the Hebrew-speakers and developing among them a sense of spatial belonging and appropriation. Nevertheless, our analysis also shows that, as in various other colonial situations, there are never unidirectional power relations between the colonizer and the colonized societies, and between the addressers of semiotic messages and the addressees. It exposes the subversive potential in “everyday” readings of the landscape and in the dynamic negotiations between the groups involved. |
