Dank @JochenLingelba1 gestern auf eine besondere Karte zur humanitären Krise an der polnisch-belarussischen Grenze gestoßen und sie gleich zur Aufnahme in unseren Katalog der Internetressourcen #OstNet gemeldet. Erstellt von Badaczki i Badacze na Granicy – einem Netzwerk kritischer polnischer #BorderStudies-Forschender – ist die Karte ein starkes Beispiel für #CounterMapping, das Gewalt und Konflikte an der EU-Ostgrenze sichtbar macht: https://mapa.bbng.org/en

Beautifully made representation of a violent space and a great resource for teaching on the #EU border etc.

Hurray, we have secured access badges to CERN (European Council for Nuclear Research) to walk the short stretch of the 🇨🇭 🇫🇷 within the cross-border science site tomorrow, with two knowledgeable staff members. I am so loving this adventure along the borderline, taking us to many unexpected places large and small!

And, yikes, my comic book coming out of this project needs to be handed in at the end of the month! Almost there!

Sometimes, my walks lead to unexpected marvels. It started out today as a quest to find old border buildings near Moillesulaz (🇨🇭) / Moëllesulaz (🇫🇷) but they were all apparently flattened & replaced with a shiny new (& super useful!) cross-border tram & modern blocks of flats or administrative buildings. So, a frustrating start if nostalgia is your thing. But what happened next will surprise you, as they say... #BorderWalk #geography #border #borderStudies #visualMethods #SlowScholarship

An old 1940s (?) postcard showing the French « Douane » building in Moëllesulaz (Note the French spelling of the name). The tram runs down the centre of the street.

The same location as the previous photo, in which the road has been hugely broadened with new tram lines separated from the road traffic

Sunday morning wandering and cycling around between past and present, in slight drizzle, chasing border stones & French boulangeries.

In case you missed it, a short comic stemming from this walking & drawing border project is mentioned here: https://mastodon.social/@JulietJFall/111427226794927481

An old early 20th Century postcard showing the border post in Saint Julien near Geneva, in black & white. The hand holding the postcard is photographed.

The same place as the previous image, only photographed today.

Swiss/French border stone 62A at the Bardonnex motorway border passage point, photographed close up, showing the card Geneva flag on one side.

Swiss/French border stone 61A near to the Bardonnex motorway border passage point, in the woods, covered in light lichen. It dates to 1993 when the border was moved to allow for the construction of the new motorway. The side showing the letter S, for Switzerland, is visible. Autumn leaves rest on the ground.

beating the bounds by juliet jane fall
THE SWiSS STATE REDREW ALL MAPS CLOSING INTERNATIONAL BORDERS, RESTRICTING ENTRANCE.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR WORLD SHRINKS?
WE WERE TOLD TO STAY HOME TO BE SAFE, BUT MY HOME HAS ALWAYS BEEN AS MUCH A LANDSCAPE AS a BUILDING. I STARTED COMPULSIVELY CYCLING AND WALKING, OBSESSED ABOUT D THE BORDERS, TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF THE NEW GEOGRAPHICAL REALLTY, DRAGGING FAMILY MEMBERS ALONG

Black and white line drawings of two people on a bike, and map outlines as background.
Text: « BEATING THE BOUNDS » IS AN ANCIENT CUSTOM, OBSERVED IN PARTS OF ENGLAND AND WALES THAT INVOLVES TOURING LOCAL LANDMARKS EVERY FEW YEARS AND SWATTING THEM WITH BRANCHES OR STICKS TO MAINTAIN A SHARED MENTAL MAP OF PARISH BOUNDARIES.
ARMED NOT WITH COMMUNITY BUT WLTH MAPS, PHONE APPS, GUIDEBOOKS, ARCHIVAL DOCUMENTS, HISTORICAL TREATIES, BLOCKS AND FENCES, WE BEAT OUR BOUNDS.

Image shows a line drawn moveable fence with red and white plastic tape, as though stretching over a map. The state border is marked in red, and the part across the border, in France, is faded and hard to see.
GEOGRAPHERS TAUGHT US THAT BODIES CONNECT THE GLOBAL AND THE INTIMATE. SO WE TRIED THINKING THROUGH OUR MOVING BODIES, MAPPING OUR CHANGING WORLD, EXPERIENCING NEW DIVISIONS AND CONNECTIONS IN THE LANDSCAPE. WE REDREW OUR MENTAL MAPS, FOLLOWING THE LINES.

Image shows two people on bicycles, drawn from the back, as they contemplate a closed road, barred by large concrete blocks. Lower down, a girl blows bubbles across a fence. The bubbles turn into red dots on a map, showing the closed and open border passage points attached to a no entry road sign.
MAYBE WE HAD NEVER TRULY EXPLORED OUR WORLD BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. MAYBE WE HAD JUST TAKEN OUR MOBILITY AND PRIVILEGE FOR GRANTED AND HAD SIMPLY ACCEPTED THE LINES DRAWN ON OFFICIAL MAPS? THE CRISIS RESHAPED OUR LANDSCAPES TEMPORARILY CLOSING, THEN REOPENING, THE BORDER CROSSINGS. IT MADE US WANT T0 GO AND BEAR WITNESS. IN DOING S0, THE LINES REDREW US.
THREE YEARS LATER, OUR BODIES ARE STILL BEATING, MAPPING OUR LIVES AND LANDSCAPES ALONG THE LINES.
