The archiving of walks has been a topic of discussion amongst the members of the International Society of the Imaginary Perambulator for some years. This paper shares a sustained autoethnographic practice of perambulography, and songwriting that documents traditional paths of Cheshire, in the UK.
Contribution long abstract:
Whether formally recognised paths; the routes of political protest marches; religious pilgrimages; or, traditional holloways, the archiving of walks has been a topic of discussion amongst the members of the International Society of the Imaginary Perambulator for some years. This paper shares one members sustained practice of perambulography, that attempts to document traditional paths, or holloways, of a small part of Cheshire, in the UK. Specifically, how through arts-based practice as research the paths are recorded as experiential expressions; through song. Are they simply a solo-folklore preserved digitally through song, or can an approach situated within an autoethnographic paradigm present byways for archives?
