Lecture – Along the Line: Writing about nature, borders and infrastructure with comics and graphic narratives

This talk presents and discusses my upcoming book and comic Along the Line / Bornées (2024, MétisPresses, Genève) that diversifies approaches to territory, borders and security by infusing these concepts with feminist and critical perspectives to disrupt, unsettle, and re-write practices, discourses, and scholarly contexts.

It focuses on the uses and transformative potential of visual methods, comics and graphic narrative as part of a creative turn in the social sciences, presenting the results of a three-year ethnographic research project while allowing readers to understand under what conditions such knowledge is produced.

Juliet Fall is Full Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. As a political geographer, she is interested in how people understand and experience territory and make sense of the world in their daily experiences, connecting spatial experience from the scale of the body to that of the international. She uses visual research methods including filmmaking, photography, and comics.

The lecture is part of the lecture series: “Border Realities: Beyond Nature and Culture”

The series is organized by Lola Aubry (UniGR-Center for Border Studies, University of Luxembourg) and Anne-Laure Amilhat Szary (Pacte, CNRS, Université Grenoble Alpes).
