ABSTRACT

The chapter offers an empirical example of how to design and conduct geoGraphic fieldwork, presenting the original geoGraphic novel Lines: Moving With Stories of Public Transport in Turku that I realised as a creative research output for the interdisciplinary project ‘Public Transport as Public Space in European Cities’ (PUTSPACE). Lines is devoted to the diachronic representation of public transport in Turku (Finland) and collects the plurivocal mobile stories connected to it. The story plays with the chronotopic and mobile language of comics to build relational representations of urban space and stratigraphic perceptions of time. The insertion of many pages from Lines sustains the theoretical reasoning in the chapter and exemplifies the close connection between the stylistic features, narrative structure, graphic appearance, and fieldwork practices in the geoGraphic novel. Doing comics appears as a geographical research practice that involves embodied perceptions, more-than-representational experiences, archival research, and creative mobile methodologies. The chapter presents the geoGraphic novel through a processual approach, inserting excerpts from a fieldwork diary and allowing for a reflexive perspective on the geoGrapher’s positionality during the practice of doing comics.
