Transforms the study of borders into an immersive visual and intellectual experience, revealing how boundaries are drawn and lived.
Part travelogue, part scholarly inquiry, Along the Line reimagines the study of borders through the lens of lived experience and graphic storytelling. Beginning with the COVID-19 border closures of 2020, Juliet Fall embarks on a three-year journey tracing the boundary between France and Geneva, uncovering the deep historical and personal significance of these invisible lines. Through vivid sketches and a feminist political geography perspective, this work confronts conventional academic narratives and demonstrates how borders shape both landscapes and lives.
Through a blend of theory with immersive storytelling, Fall invites readers to slow down, observe, and rethink their understanding of space, mobility, and belonging. Along the Line is a groundbreaking contribution to border studies, political geography, and international relations, and also a powerful example of how creative and visual methods can transform academic research.
