You’ll Never Walk Alone
Abstract
This autoethnographic paper examines the paradoxical coproduction of “aloneness” in nature spaces charged with a politics of memory. The settings are Highland Clearances ruins and bothies in Scotland. Bothies are rustic shelters in remote areas at which everyone is free to stay. The Highland Clearances (1750s–1860s) were a tumultuous period during which subsistence farmers were forcibly evicted from rural land as part of Enlightenment-era “development.”
