Beschreibung:
This study provides a unique insight into common experiences and desires to return to important places of our past and to establish places of memory. Drawing upon philosophers such as Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Gadamer, and Ricoeur, Janet Donohoe uses the idea of a palimpsest to argue that layers of the past are carried along as traditions through places and bodies such that we can speak of memory as being written upon place and place as being written upon memory.
Chapter One: A Phenomenology of Memory and PlaceChapter Two: From Individual to Collective MemoryChapter Three: Collective Memory, Place, and MourningChapter Four: A Hermeneutics of MonumentsChapter Five: Conclusions
