Answer TWO questions, EACH in a SEPARATE answer book

1. Discuss the ways in which questions of scale have become central to debates about

the body and globalisation.

2. With reference to at least one global health issue, discuss what insights creative

forms such as films and novels can offer geographical engagements with global

health.

3. Denis Wood is highly suspicious of maps because they serve as tools of state power,

but he nonetheless supports their continued use. Why?

4. Drawing on examples, outline how contemporary cities have been shaped by

warfare.

5. To what extent can Amman be described as a “city-camp” (M. AGIER, 2002)?

6. Why have food scares become so common in the last few decades?
