This book is a phenomenological investigation of the interrelations
of tradition, memory, place and the body. 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. She engages in on-going
discussions about the importance of place in dialogue with
theorists such as Jeff Malpas and Ed Casey, and focuses on analysis
of monuments and memorials to investigate how such deliberate
places of collective memory can be ideological or can open us to
the past and traditions in our experiences of them. Remembering
Places: A Phenomenological Study of the Relationship between Memory
and Place appeals to common experiences of returning to places of
memory and discovering that those places as well as the memories
have changed. Such concrete examples make it possible to discover
how traditions can span generations while still allowing for
openness to the new and how places of memory call us to take up
traditions, but also to critique those traditions.
