In particular when the narrative and the iconographies are related to the so-called (cultural, linguistic, religious etc.) "identity" of two or more human group.

Conceptually, the duration of the present boundaries seems to be conceived as eternal, because the top-down exercise of power is always concrete in space which must be fixed and delimitated; but this is in contrast with the human dynamics and life forms which are, in general, necessarily in a process of bio-physical, social and cultural change. It is a human character. The current conception of ‘eternal’ borders is the main source of the geopolitical problems.
Better reduce the sacredness (and the narratives about) borders and use them in a functional way, starting from the basic, concrete human needs. There are practical examples working since years/decades.

The conclusion is actually an update (October 2022) of how the experience resisted the impact of the pandemic and how the expressed ideal references and the concrete experience maintain their continuity and coherence over time.

As geographers, there will be spatially uneven effects of Brexit, within the UK and across Europe and the world, as trade relations, treaties and state regulations become disentangled and realigned. In the scenario of a disorderly ‘no deal’ withdrawal, the functions of society that ensure day-to-day survival (e.g. social reproduction, work, healthcare) may struggle or collapse. In the context of emergency, it is well documented that communal relations flourish. Thus, we face opportunities for both research agendas for tracing the dynamics of Brexit itself, and for understanding the underlying fabric of society through its pressure points, fissures and, in Colin Ward’s words, proto-anarchist “seeds beneath the snow”.
Thus, Brexit may be an opportunity to rethink anarchism and anarchist geography – not only for those on the British Isles but also for those across the world who now face opponents who are emboldened by the reactionary discourses of Brexit (e.g. in Italy, France, Hungary). Nevertheless, given the many regressive and violent characteristics of the EU, leaving its control may also reveal opportunities.
L'articolo (pubblicato in inglese nel 2012 sulla rivista Human Geography) sottolinea e cerca di esemplificare come questi meccanismi, profondamente "umani", siano inevitabilemtne connessi alla dimensione delle scelte delle parole e delle azioni concrete della geopolitica.
