Watercolouring recent academic fieldwork along the so-called “Green Line” that divides the island of Cyprus. Making slow sense of experiences, thoughts, observations on paper.

A book! A comic! A hybrid-book-comic-essay thing!
You know how you sometimes only look at the pictures when you buy an academic book? Well here you are ENCOURAGED to! The main arguments are in the comics, the text offers references, methods & background.
Available from EPFLPress & soon internationally via Chicago University Press (pre-order available).

One more step in the long story: unboxing the English-language book born out of this slow wander Along The Line!

I’m doing a panel with another author next week at a book festival, putting our two books side by side along the common thread of “borders” (my comic, his travel journal). I’ve had such fun drawing 6 panels trying to build thematic & visual bridges. Thinking through comics is so productive for opening up dialogues. (Ha! I hope this actually works in practice on a stage, however…)

From photo to comic, one line at a time. It's fun to return slowly to each page, now that the book is finished and soon heading off to press, out on 15th november 2024. I will soon share the cover design, currently being magic-ed up by the graphic designer based on some of my drawings.

I don’t think I ever shared that we walked the border stretch near Cara 🇨🇭/ Carra 🇫🇷 a few weeks ago, did I? (Clearly this is news that the fediverse has been waiting for with baited breath😛!)
I love it when the 2 countries can’t even agree on spelling for place names: the near-abroad is made subtly more Other. Several great border stones and border infrastructure to keep me amused on these last steps of our epic & mundane slow walking adventure. #borderWalk #border #geography #visualMethods

The teaser flyer for the French version of my comic that was born of the visual ethnography of the 🇨🇭 🇫🇷 border is out, aimed at an audience of comic-lovers, and local history/geography/urban planning folks.
The English version of the same comic ("Along the Line") is interwoven into a "serious" social science academic book, looking at the theory (territory/borders/infrastructure), methods and ethics of the project.

Happy to be presenting my book & comic project tonight at the University of Cagliari, during an interdisciplinary seminar as part of my Visiting Professorship.
As I've been spending the past few days translating the 'comic' section of it into French from the original English, and will be presenting this in Italian, it really makes me think about how language shapes how we think and write about the world, beyond images. #geography #visualMethods #ethnography #history #comics #bandeDessinée

I'm delighted to be back in Cagliari as Visiting Professor to teach about graphic narrative, comics and creative methods, to 1st-year geography students, & to give a narrative methods class to students of architecture. Exploring the city on foot in the bright sunshine is a delight. An inspiring place, beautiful in its diversity, and with exceptionally welcoming colleagues.

We joined up with the border & continued upstream, along the river Hermance. The border now runs down the middle of it here (here it was formerly along the talweg, i.e. following the deepest bit of the river bed). It is a picturesque and languid river meandering in a rural landscape punctuated by the usual border infrastructure: border stones, disused border guard buildings and rusting signs and fences. #borderWalk #geography #switzerland #visualMethods #visualEthnography #walking

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

The border first followed a stream, then a series of extremely muddy canals dug through the boggy forest. We walked very slowly, hopping from log to log, as the paths turned to brooks and the stones became islands, fired on by our delightfully pointless quest to find all the stones. Geneva felt like an island surrounded by boggy lands.
A lovely day in the sun with three of us walking for a change, fired on by biscuits and chocolates. #borderWalk #geography #riverBorder #mosstodon #visualmethods

Term-time is ended, the archives are closed, and we are back outside celebrating the beginning of the holidays by walking! Walking the wiggly borderlines along the Foron river, where the border is unusually not in the middle of the stream but along the right (Swiss) bank. France has full rights over the water. Interestingly, 🇨🇭and 🇫🇷 haven’t formally agreed on the exact location of the border here and discussions are ongoing. #Borderwalk #geography #borders #frontières #visualMethods

More archive work today, seeing the original documents & accompanying maps of the Treaty of Turin establishing part of what is now the 🇨🇭🇫🇷state border, formerly Geneva & Savoie/Sardinia. Just gorgeous to see it in person, and wander across the pages. Although these docs have been scanned, seeing them in person and gazing at them at an angle, allows you to see the amazing artistry (those little tree shadows!). #oldMaps #visualMethods #visualArchives #Geography #politicalGeography #borders

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

Am working with a PhDer keen to create a visual/sensorial #thesis investigating the aesthetics of Pentecostal imagery (Religious Studies). Their supervisors aren't 'keen'.

Any examples/advice I can share with them?

Not walking today, but exploring the state archives, and the Mappe Sarde dating back to when parts of what is now the Canton of Geneva where part of other kingdoms. Just beautiful to see the mini painted landscapes, in still-fresh watercolours, showing places we have walked. #geography #borders #visualMethods #maps #oldMaps

1970s TV archive on the Swiss border and border guards in Geneva, and on how rivers and bodies of water were used to help trace the borderline (weren't TV programmes slow paced back then? Rather refreshing!): https://www.rts.ch/archives/tv/information/la-suisse-est-belle/11280287-geneve-frontiere-deau.html

It’s surprising to me how many border stones are carved erroneously. It’s almost embarrassing / delightful how much time and money must have been invested to lay this one with an S (for 🇫🇷 Savoie) carved backwards (🇨🇭was G for Geneva on that one). Or maybe it was done on purpose as a subtle insult?
(One advantage of my mini-border-crossing adventures is that I get to visit French boulangeries. For research purposes, obviously.)

Welcome new folks! Reminder that I’m a professor of political & creative geography at Université de Genève
 (she/her), 🇨🇭. Currently writing / drawing a book-length comic on borders. Still hoping academic folk & others engage more here, so tooting about work, but also sewing & yodelling (!).

I’m overall pleased with the outcome and the students’ ability & willingness to try using visual language, particularly as this is outside their usual academic writing. Some beautifully sensitive pieces! My commentary is in English, but their work is in Italian, but presumably online automatic translation could help them sharing the blog w/friends? #comics #visualMethods #visualSociology #geography #creativeGeography

A gorgeous time in Cagliari teaching comics & geography at the Università degli Studi, spending time with colleagues, meeting local comic artist Marco Tanca, and absorbing local traditions and visual cultures.
The geography / humanities students & I are working on creating an Urban Mosaic of life in the city, using comics. Results shared online in the coming weeks here: https://urbanmosaic.blog/

Great 1st practical session today at the Uni degli Studi di Cagliari, having a go at drawing movement, organizing space on the page & thinking about framing & focus. Hurray for the students!

I am doing all this teaching in Italian & it reminds me of how lucky I am to usually not have to work in a 2nd or 3rd language, unlike many in academia. 😩😅🤪
