在本文中，我通过讨论漫画书《看不见的边界》的两卷中景观与女性身体的竞争性表现之间的冲突示例来探索体现和空间性。这部小说通过将地图视为权力、控制和殖民的工具，具体而明确地重新评估了知识生产中的目光。然而，尽管作者明显希望拒绝反动的政治方法，但作者似乎通过女性与自然之间复杂的话语转码来迷恋身体，从而将自然化的（女性）身体与（自然化的）地缘政治场景联系起来。与此相反，在本文中，我建议将身体视为抵抗（政治）强加的场所和空间。借鉴女权主义地理学和批判地缘政治学，我提出了一种替代方法，通过检查自然化的身体和自然化的政治边界之间的联系来考虑体现地理对制图学的影响。主要论点是，身体对制图知识的常规生产方式构成了无法控制、不可预测的威胁，因此有可能对空间话语进行反战略性的重新书写，并创造一种替代性的、更道德的制图学。这种道德制图植根于对与霸权地位相关的强加铭文的具体反抗。
In this paper I explore embodiment and spatiality by discussing the example of a conflict between competing representations of landscapes and the female body in the two volumes of the comic books La Frontière Invisible. This piece of fiction deals specifically and explicitly with a reassessment of the gaze in the production of knowledge by examining maps as tools of power, control, and colonisation. However, despite an apparent desire to reject reactionary political approaches, the authors seem to associate the naturalised (female) body with (naturalised) geopolitical scenarios by fetishising the body through complex discursive transcodings between women and nature. In contrast to this, in this paper I suggest considering the body as a site and space of resistance to (political) imposition. Drawing on both feminist geography and critical geopolitics, I suggest an alternative way of considering the consequences of embodied geographies for cartography by examining the links between naturalised bodies and naturalised political boundaries. The main argument is that the body, by posing an uncontrollable, unpredictable threat to regular ways of producing cartographic knowledge, entails the possibility of a counterstrategic reinscription of spatial discourses and the creation of an alternative, more ethical cartography. This ethical cartography is rooted in embodied recalcitrance to imposed inscriptions associated with hegemonic positions.
