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 childrens 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 authors 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 childrenrsquo;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.
