24 Sept 2025 | International public lecture

On September 24th, at the Uferstudios in Berlin, our MoHu director Prof. Tania Rossetto gave a public lecture titled “Cartographic feelings of vulnerable geobodies: mobilising maps and mappings in post-Covid life”.

The event, open to the public, was hosted within a summer school entitled “Viral Atmosphere. Maneuvering the Affective Geographies of Pandemic and Health”, organized by Sung Joon Park (BNITM, Hamburg), Hansjörg Dilger (Free University, Berlin), Julia Hornberger (Witwatersrand University, Johannesburg), Bo Kyeong Seo (Yonsei University, Seoul), Nene Morisho (Pole Institute, Goma), and Jacqueline Häußler (BNITM, Hamburg).

Representing MoHu, our director explored the many ways in which the cartographic dimension was mobilized during the pandemic and how some behaviors with cartographic implications have migrated into the post-pandemic era, taking on new manifestations. The approach of humanistic mobilities, in this case linked to the cartographic theme, was useful in reflecting together with the audience on the shared legacy of the pandemic.
