#feministGeography

What could be the next great school of thought. A commingling of:

- ecology
- Space and Place
- Behavioral Studies

I would even say such a commingling would supersede what has been my primary preoccupation, Violence Studies. The above could rise above that and lead the way.

It would be the new ontology. It would not even require Marx inspired sociology.

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 ALONGBlack 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.

Brilliantly composed text, @kjj. The format and explication was so well structured and designed. Reading this book, I felt like I was back in school under the tutelage of wonderful professors showing us what #academic writing is supposed to be like.

Neodomestic American Fiction is going in the space and place / feminist geography section of my library.
