A four-page comic exploring borders, home and belonging, in a special issue on Counter/cartographies in the journal "You are Here: The Journal of Creative Geography", ed. by Eden Kinkaid &
Cassidy Schoenfelder.
(Reference: Fall, J.J. 2023 Beating the bounds. "You are Here: The Journal of Creative Geography". Vol. XXIV; 22-24.)
Full open-access issue: https://lnkd.in/eG4z4zJC

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.

Good detailed report from International Crisis Group on the communal violence in 's state, which after months of conflict is "divided into exclusive ethnic zones". Govt troops "now patrol the buffer zone created in between, while the militias that have formed on both sides dig trenches and wait for an opportunity to attack."

Another day writing my “academic comic” on political borders, revisiting “Fenced In” in long form & extending the timeframe. Anyone have tips for not ending the day with a very stiff neck & shoulder? I’m loving the drawing process but I realize that the need to pace myself physically & the looming end-of-sabbatical-deadline aren’t the best mix…

Want to see atmospheric yet often really mundane border photos? My online 🇨🇭🇫🇷 walking journal is moving here, as I’m enjoying this new online atmosphere. (I’m freezing new posts on Twatter & just ‘name-holding’ my account.)

Today, in sub-zero temperatures, we walked from border stone 16 to 43, starting from Bossy, looping back to our starting point. We were close to here a few weeks ago, in much warmer weather. But despite the freezing ‘bise noire’ north wind ringing in our ears, we were pleased that frozen ground helped us walk across stretches that would have been too muddy only a few days ago.

A freshly-restored border stone with a red painted number 22 on one side lies by a snow-covered field on the left. On the right, bramble branches hint at a forest. The Petit Salève mountain is visible in the distance, under a cloud-filled sky.
A red and white barrier stretches across a path in an agricultural winter landscape, with an old French sign reading “Service Fiscal, passage interdit”. To the left, a large border stone is barely visible. A jogger is visible in the distance, heading towards the horizon of vineyards and fields.
The author walks along the edge of a field. We can see her back, wearing a yellow rucksack. She looks warmly wrapped up. Snow covers the ground, but isn’t too thick to make it obvious that she is walking between two fields. In the far distance, at the edge of the field, there are two border stones close together.

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

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.

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!).

An extract of a hand painted watercolor map from 1816 showing the border area passing through the village of Soral.
Map extract showing lots of tiny hand painted trees in small groups, with amazing detail.
The original Treaty of Turin, bound in parchment paper with a special seal dangling from it in a silver box and tassels. The author’s hand is visible.
