“…Borders matter, territory matters, geography matters. We, geographers, always bear this in mind.” Likewise, Alec Murphy (2020, p. 39) recently reminds us that “we are far from living in a post‐territorial world.” My view might also be criticised for overlooking the severe situations where many are already suffering in many corners of the world, including the strengthened and visible presence of the US–Mexico borders against immigrants, and its transnational, territorial effects (Doucette & Lee, 2019). However, to many people, especially the general public – or in Miriam Tedeschi’s (2020) words, the “regular” citizens – who are not frequently faced with such episodes and vocabularies of territoriality, they did not always, or they were not aware of how they, encounter borders, unlike how they do right now amidst the global pandemic, during which the law’s geographical relations to territories and bodies are made visible in the form of borders and boundaries.…”

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