Figure 13: Paths <strong>and</strong> places from the story <strong>of</strong> Olgha, born in 1944.<br />

The last figure shows the mapping <strong>of</strong> space in Thodoris’ story. During childhood he used to<br />

work as a shepherd in the mountains, taking care <strong>of</strong> the sheep. His experience places the<br />

“whereness” <strong>of</strong> the village according to his journeys up to the mountains <strong>and</strong> down to the<br />

working as a contract worker. Because <strong>of</strong> the flu epidemics they moved to the village shortly<br />

after their marriage.<br />
