Visualise Global Space

Refik Baran 


          Visualize Global Space is about to modern geopolitical imagination. It start with the origins and development of the capacity to see the world as a whole. From this point of view, the ‘modern’ world is defined by the imaginative ability to transcend the spatial limits imposed by everyday life and contemplate the world conceived and grasped as  a picture.

In this context, visualizing global space have two characteristics what emerged at the outset of the European Age of Discovery. First of all, that seeing the world-as-a-picture, as an ordered, structured whole, separates the self who is viewing from the world itself. The other characteristic of global visualization is the world pictured beyond the horizon is a source of chaos and danger. In this context, we can talk about a dichotomous global West and East, in which the former is seen as the total opposite and, hence, definitive standard for the latter. East and West always have a  conflict between themselves and this situation create a visualizing global space. Of course, globalization is the other important issue for this topic.  The other source of visualizing global space is geographical thinking. Visualizing global space has involved the adaptation of its two features within the overall context of a persisting modern geopolitical imagination. The horizon could be cross by means of technology and beliefs. In addition to that, experience of the world effects the visualizing global space. In the history, we have some examples for visualizing global space such as European Renaissance, French Revolution and elaboration of Ptolemy’s cosmography. The world was an object separated from the viewing subject, and could be understood adequately only if seen as a whole. Of course, Scepticism is effects the global space. climate and other geographical features are taken to account for such differences as exist between cultures. In this understanding, there can be no innately superior cultures and no groups or nations whose members are more fully ‘human’ than others. But European experience still provided the standard for what ‘one humanity’ might entail. Indeed, European experience defined what ‘humanity’ could be: a singular human nature resting on ‘universal’ attributes that were more often than not projections of European ones. In addition to that, if we rejects the effects and the importance of religious. In this context, of course, Christianity played a important role for visualizing global space.  Throughout the years, religious power had not lost own power in the all over the world. In addition to that, civilization is very important thing for visualizing global space. Since the transformation of World, Civilization is not lost own price like religious. I think, the most important two thing is civilization and religious. By means of civilization, the human kind developed themselves day by day and visualizing global space is still living in modern times. In this progress, the idea of “race” has effected the visualizing global space. Races have differences themselves as we know. After 16th century, the importance of race had rise. In my opinion, visualizing global space will continue. Technology, East-West Divide, religious effects, races, Scepticisim, the ambition of humankind, cultures, civilization, Ptolemy and the other things like those are always be continue and improve throughout the years.
