Abstract

Methodologies that capture the ways in which individuals and communities value places are becoming increasingly attractive to policymakers and authors highlight the need for additional tools and archival material concerning how people engage withlandscapes on an everyday basis. This paper addresses that need and argues that oral history and personal memory can be used as effective tools for geographical mapping and analysis, both physical and virtual. Religion involves the collective identity ofa people and has strong affinities with the traditions and knowledge handed down from generation to generation. Such traditions and knowledge are often handed down orally and offer potential for geographical enquiry. Oral history can provide uniqueinsights into the history of place, often providing narratives about the recollection of self, relationships with others and place, insights rarely provided in such depth by other methods. Place memory has become an important theme in recent geographicalresearch and landscape can be mapped through memories and stories to create a virtual cartography of place. Using a case study approach in Lackagh, County Galway, the authors use an innovative assemblage of methods to produce one of the most thoroughsyntheses of information available in respect to the location, history and heritage of Mass paths in Ireland at a parish level.
通过记忆映射:爱尔兰群众道路的位置和性质。
对于决策者和作者来说,捕捉个人和社区对地点的价值的方法越来越有吸引力,这凸显了对人们如何在日常生活中参与景观的额外工具和档案材料的需求。本文阐述了这一需求,并认为口述历史和个人记忆可以作为物理和虚拟地理制图和分析的有效工具。宗教涉及到一个人的集体认同,并与代代相传的传统和知识有很强的亲和力。这些传统和知识往往是口头流传下来的,为地理调查提供了可能。口述历史可以为地方的历史提供独特的见解,通常提供关于自我回忆的叙述,与他人和地方的关系,其他方法很少提供如此深入的见解。地点记忆已成为近年来地理研究的一个重要主题,景观可以通过记忆和故事来绘制,从而创建一个虚拟的地点地图。通过对高威郡拉克的案例研究,作者采用了一种创新的方法组合,在爱尔兰教区层面上,对有关弥撒路径的位置、历史和遗产的信息进行了最全面的综合。
