Space, Place, and Memory inHollowayby Robert Macfarlane, Stanley Donwood, and Dan Richards

<jats:p>This article is an examination of space, place, and memory in the 2012 book Holloway written by Robert Macfarlane and Dan Richards and illustrated by Stanley Donwood. The South Dorset holloways of the Chideock valley are experienced by the authors through the kinesthetic motion of walking through the space. This lived site is then interpreted through the individual’s social body, transforming it into a repository of colliding personal and collective cultural memories. Within Macfarlane’s phenomenological experience of the holloways, the boundaries between life and death, past and present, and self and culture are permanently blurred.</jats:p>
