Preparing my talk for Friday 22 September at the Deutscher Kongress für Geographie in Frankfurt in political geography: speaking about my work-in-progress on territory, comics, and walking along invisible lines.

Back to border-hopping after a long summer of heat and travel further afield. Yay for restarting mini-adventures close by, hopping back and forth in time with many archival photos stored on my phone! We haven’t walked all the way round the Canton of Geneva yet: endless little treasures to find, and new places to explore.

A border stone in a harvested field, overlooking the Signal de Bernex in Switzerland. The stone is marked with a big F on one side, and the year 1996 on another. The earth is dry after a terrific drought and heat.A sign banning dogs from a square, across the border in France. A sepia photo of the Swiss border post house, with old-style cars in front.The same building as the previous photo, today. The building has been extended on both ends. An ugly covered portico covers the road, providing cover for the Swiss border guards. The photo is taken from the French side.

There is a great CFP for an upcoming Ethnography & Qualitative Research conference in Italy, in Trento (June 5-7 2023) on walking methodologies put forward by the wonderful Dr Giada Peterle & Prof Chiara Rabbiosi. I’m not sure how far along I’ll be by then on my border walk, but I suggested presenting a paper. Lots of other sessions. Languages English / Italian / French.
