“…For example, videotaping go-alongs (or debriefings following a walk) can create “hotspot maps” of emotion, much like disease mapping (Zeile, Resch, Exner, & Sagl, 2015). Studies have used narrative cartography to reveal personal meanings and embodied connections to memory and place (Birdsall & Drozdzewski, 2018; Drozdzewski & Birdsall, 2019; Price et al, 2016; Stevenson, 2014; Stevenson et al, 2019), art-making (Power & Bennett, 2015), former industrial places (Edensor, 2007), and video game engagement (Grodal, 2003).…”

“…Combining biosensing with go-alongs may facilitate insights about how individuals experience places and physiological responses attached to them (Antos, Danilovich, Eisenstein, Gordon, & Kording, 2019; Berman, Jonides, & Kaplan, 2008; Olszewska-Guizzo, 2018; Osborne & Jones, 2017; Ulrich et al, 1991). These hybrid designs also have implications for tracking mobile health and mobile cognitions generally (Aspinall et al, 2015; Drozdzewski & Birdsall, 2019; Ellard, 2015; Neale et al, 2017; Steinhubl et al, 2015; Topol, Steinhubl, & Torkamani, 2015).…”

While place-based methods are increasingly being used to explore why place matters for health, how places matters for mental health and psychological wellness is less understood. Overall, approaches that consider community, environmental, and neighborhood-level factors have been taken up to a lesser extent by psychologists. Yet methods that situate human behavior within a spatial context have the potential to expand psychological and interdisciplinary inquiry aimed at improving mental and cognitive health. This article presents a brief overview of one type of mobile method, the go-along walk, that can be used with a variety of technologies and complementary methods to better understand how individuals respond to places and environmental stimuli, including place-based exposures. Implications for broadening the range of research questions and translational applications are discussed.

“…The study took a quasi‐ethnographic approach, a term that acknowledges the fact that the first author's engagement in the Whit Walks was intermittent (Murtagh, 2007) and took the form of observer‐as‐participant or spectator (Gold, 1958). This approach differs from emplaced ethnographic ones used by others (for example, Drozdzewski & Birdsall, 2019) that involve immersive walking with participants. Although interactions in the research setting were periodic, the first author was still able to establish a sense of trust with participants because of the extended nature of the data collection process, which covered three years from 2016 to 2018.…”

Processional walking: Theorising the ‘place’ of movement in notions of dwelling

This article rethinks dwelling as an active and emergent process through which (re)connections to place are valorised by humans collectively walking with each other in a recursive manner. We revisit Heidegger's notion of dwelling, often criticised for perpetuating enclosure and stasis, by revealing the interconnections between dwelling and movement. Drawing on a two‐century old religious procession—the Manchester and Salford Whit Walks—as an empirical example, our interpretive analysis is centred around three themes. First, we demonstrate how dwelling becomes embodied in performative and collective movement. Second, we examine how dwelling in this context is reinforced through repetition and iteration of that movement. Third, we show how such movement is reliant on repair and maintenance work, which facilitates the (re)emergence of dwelling. We contribute, therefore, empirical insights into how dwelling emerges from a movement through place which, in turn, cements a being in place. Finally, this article has important implications for thinking about how the movement of citizens through processional forms of walking can be a powerful tool for underpinning feelings of dwelling and related concepts of sense of place and civic pride.

“…Far from being passive spectators that behold the monument from a distant and subordinate position, "contemporary memorials stimulate the senses and invite exploration," thus encouraging "visitors to take a more active role in experiencing the memorial in a bodily manner " (p. 11). Along these lines, new methodological approaches, such as the sensory ethnography (Pink, 2015) or the emplaced sensory ethnography (Drozdzewski and Birdsall, 2019) have been used to study visitors' and researchers contextualized meanings and feelings at these sites, together with the ongoing emergence of their atmospheric qualities (see Sumartojo, 2019). In line with these approaches, the focus of this article is on the situated, ongoing interaction between individuals and memorials from the participant's own perspective.…”

Memorials from the perspective of experience: A comparison of Spain’s Valley of the Fallen to contemporary counter-memorials

Memorials are cultural artifacts constructed to mediate memory for a shared past. But as such, they require people’s active engagement with them, which can generate divergent experiences and interpretations. The present study compares how different memorial forms both enable and constrain people’s relating to the sites and what they are meant to represent. The comparison hinges on the difference between traditional memorials (imposing, vertical, and focused on heroes) and counter-memorials (engaging, horizontal, and focused on victims). The Valley of the Fallen is in central focus as a prime example of a traditional memory, which is currently in the process of being re-signified. Our study compares participants’ experience of this site with the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe and the National 9/11 Memorial (both celebrated counter-memorials), using an innovative method combining interviews and a subjective camera that captures participants’ ongoing experience from the first-person perspective. Results show a manifold of ways in which people appropriate and make sense of memorials through different associations and personal memories while moving through them.
