We have never been so bounded: Pandemic, territoriality, and mobility

In this intervention, I examine the bordering dynamics in nomosphere configured by global pandemic crisis and their territorial consequences, drawing on an autoethnography of impact everyday life academic practices. On one hand, rely my observation Switzerland, Europe general, to discuss bodily experiences with borders at different scales; other, as a British National (Overseas) passport holder attempt get access Taiwan for doing fieldwork, document difficulties dealing border control, showing how influence geopolitics contested identities research praxis is complicated during pandemic. These legal geographies territoriality demonstrate that are not only constantly becoming fluid, but also more discursively present materially visible than other times. The work bordering, argue, produces uneven geography which deserves our attention.
