Remembering place

domicide and a childhood home.

Place is explored through the process of remembering childhood experiences in the out-of-doors as they intersect with the experience of domicide. The broad context of my life history is focused through an autobiographic (reflexive) and often critical lens as I explore the domicide of my childhood home and its 'embeddedness' within economic, geographic, political, ecological and sociophysical complexities. I define home as encompassing both the physical structure of the house and larger concept of the neighbourhood. A fusion of evocative personal and archival photographic images, poetic text, municipal documents and a wandering discourse structures this arts-informed approach to a life history.The thesis is divided into three sections. First, Attentive Moments follows the inquiry through the phenomenological moments and into the 'embeddedness' of the specific and broad context of the work. Second, Interleaves of Wandering and Wondering follows the process of remembering childhood experiences in the out-of-doors. Here the scope of the thesis widens to include the collective remembrances of the childhood friends who share these experiences with me. Childhood friends join me in a collective remembrance of place for the purpose of giving contextual significance to my personal story in a way that honours the deeply relational quality of our childhood experiences in the out-of-doors. Through the echoes of relational remembering stories are written using an arts-informed process and represented in the form of interleaves of a wondering conversation connected by sections containing a memory map, poetic text and photographic images as I express the fusion of our (self and other) emotive responses to the sociophysical context. And finally, Ceremonial Awareness shifts from the concrete aspects of the work into the abstract conceptual notions held within the deep structures of development, abandonment and redevelopment that I have uncovered along the way. The literal and metaphoric significance of these childhood place experiences and their intersection with the experience of domicide culminates in an articulation of the transformational potential held within this arts-informed approach to a life history, to focus the multidimensional and often disorienting feelings of coming to understand the complex relationship between self and place within a rapidly urbanizing world.
