how do i use this source for my presenation with the name maps as instuments of power

Respuesta

Use it as your main evidence that maps are not neutral. Say:

“Maps are instruments of power because whoever makes a map decides what names, borders, and places are shown.”

For your presentation:

  1. Introduce the source: Lorenz Hurni’s ETH Zurich article explains how maps handle disputed names and political renaming. (ETH Zürich)
  2. Connect to your thesis: Maps can support political authority by naming places, drawing borders, or leaving things out.
  3. Use an example: disputed place names, colonial borders, or state-approved maps.
  4. Explain why it matters: people often trust maps as “facts,” but maps can reflect power and political choices.

A strong slide title: “Maps Show Power, Not Just Places.”
