Using an innovative auto-ethnographic approach to investigate the
otherness of the places that make up the childhood home and its
neighbourhood in relation to memory-derived and memory-imbued
cultural geographies, Remembering the Cultural Geographies of a
Childhood Home is concerned with childhood spaces and children's
perspectives of those spaces and, consequentially, with the
personalised locations that make up the childhood family home and
its immediate surroundings (such as the garden, the street, etc.).
Whilst this book is primarily structured by the author's memories
of living in his own Welsh childhood home during the 1970s - that
is, the auto-ethnographic framework - it is as much about living
anywhere amid the remembered cultural remnants of the past as it is
immersing oneself in cultural geographies of the here-and-now. As a
result, Remembering the Cultural Geographies of a Childhood Home is
part of the ongoing pursuit by cultural geographers to provide a
personal exploration of the pluralities of shared landscapes,
whereby such an engagement with space and place aid our
construction of cognitive maps of meaning that, in turn, manifest
themselves as both individual and collective cultural experiences.
Furthermore, touching upon our co-habiting of ghost topologies,
Remembering the Cultural Geographies of a Childhood Home also
encourages a critical exploration of children's spirituality amid
the haunted cultural and geographical spaces and places of a house
and its neighbourhood: the cellar, hallway, parlour, stairs,
bedroom, attic, shops, cemeteries, and so on.
