| Abstract: |
This chapter presents and analyses empirical case studies where three different walking methods uncover memories and emotions connected to earlier stages of the lifecourse. Alongside outdoor walks, I use an oral method and online digital maps to imagine the walking body passing through spaces such as the house, street, and neighbourhood. These connected methodologies change the format of biographical accounts from a chronological order and so reveal rich accounts concerning topics such as homelife, leisure, and mobilities. The collective approach helps to understand others’ social and economic contexts, particularly when biographies are (re)presented on public walks and through an artistic film project. This writing offers ways for researchers of different chronological ages and backgrounds to the interviewees to find common ground, thus offering Linking Ages methodologies to understand the relationships that contemporary children have with space and place. |
