N2  - This study examines how and in what ways the Arab-Israeli conflicts are verbally and visually re/presented in the pages of the National Geographic Magazine. The magazine claims to be one of the largest non-profit scientific and educational institutions in the world reaching millions of people. Due to the scale of the phenomenon it is crucial to investigate how National Geographic re/presents people and places from particular cultures or regions in the world, in this case the Arab and Muslim worlds. This study, therefore, embodies the textual and visual re/presentation of the ?Other?. Starting with the issue of January 1948 up to December 2008, a number of 14 articles/photo stories connected to the Arab-Israeli conflicts depicted in National Geographic Magazine are investigated. To scrutinise visual and verbal representations of the Arab-Israeli conflicts, Said?s theories on ?Orientalism? and Barthes? semiological approach of the study of signs and symbols are employed.
