Drawing on influences as diverse as Merleau-Ponty, Freud, and J. G. Ballard, \u003ci\u003eThe Memory of Place\u003c\/i\u003e charts the memorial landscape that is written into the body and its experience of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDylan Trigg's \u003ci\u003eThe Memory of Place\u003c\/i\u003e offers a lively and original intervention into contemporary debates within \"place studies,\" an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of philosophy, geography, architecture, urban design, and environmental studies. Through a series of provocative investigations, Trigg analyzes monuments in the representation of public memory; \"transitional\" contexts, such as airports and highway rest stops; and the \"ruins\" of both memory and place in sites such as Auschwitz. While developing these original analyses, Trigg engages in thoughtful and innovative ways with the philosophical and literary tradition, from Gaston Bachelard to Pierre Nora, H. P. Lovecraft to Martin Heidegger. Breathing a strange new life into phenomenology, The Memory of Place argues that the eerie disquiet of the uncanny is at the core of the remembering body, and thus of ourselves. The result is a compelling and novel rethinking of memory and place that should spark new conversations across the field of place studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEdward S. Casey, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Stony Brook University and widely recognized as the leading scholar on phenomenology of place, calls \u003ci\u003eThe Memory of Place\u003c\/i\u003e \"genuinely unique and a signal addition to phenomenological literature. It fills a significant gap, and it does so with eloquence and force.\" He predicts that Trigg's book will be \"immediately recognized as a major original work in phenomenology.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDylan Trigg\u003c\/b\u003e is a postdoctoral research fellow at University College Dublin, School of Philosophy.
