The concept of threshold opens up different approaches to the use and perception of cemeteries. Besides understanding Highgate as a landscape and a text, the paper expands the notion of the threshold in a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach. A threshold not only connects realms like life and death, past and present, but also public and private. The contribution «Experiencing Highgate Cemetery as a Place: Landscape, Text, Threshold» further highlights that as a point of discontinuity the threshold is a space of liminal experience and a tool for novelties.

Abstract

The concept of threshold opens up different approaches to the use and perception of cemeteries. Besides understanding Highgate as a landscape and a text, the paper expands the notion of the threshold in a hermeneutic-phenomenological approach. A threshold not only connects realms like life and death, past and present, but also public and private. The contribution «Experiencing Highgate Cemetery as a Place: Landscape, Text, Threshold» further highlights that as a point of discontinuity the threshold is a space of liminal experience and a tool for novelties.
