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.
This cross-disciplinary book uses phenomenological method and
description to explore questions of place, underscoring the
significance of phenomenology for place and place for
phenomenology. The book brings together prominent scholars in
phenomenology of place. Covering a range of issues from sacred
places to embodiment and identity and from environmental art and
architecture to limit places, the contributors explore theoretical
foundations through thinkers such as Heidegger, Marion-Young,
Husserl, and Leopold among others. Phenomenological method and
description are brought to bear on concrete places such as rivers,
the Himalayas, modern transit, sacred architecture and more. The
book is accessible and pertinent to on-going discussions in human
geography, architectural theory, environmental studies, and
philosophy of place. Provocative and imaginative, the essays
provide a much-needed look at the contributions of phenomenology
to, as well as the role of place in, contemporary philosophical and
environmental discussions.

In Husserl on Ethics and Intersubjectivity, Janet Donohoe offers a
compelling look into Husserl's shift from a "static" to a "genetic"
approach in his analysis of consciousness. Rather than view
consciousness as an abstract unity, Husserl began investigating
consciousness by taking into account the individual's lived
experiences. Engaging critics from contemporary analytic schools to
third-generation phenomenologists, Donohoe shows that they often do
not do justice to the breadth of Husserl's thoughts. In separate
chapters Donohoe elucidates the relevance of Husserl's later
genetic phenomenology to his work on time consciousness,
intersubjectivity, and ethical issues. This much-needed synthesis
of Husserl's methodologies will be of interest to Husserl scholars,
phenomenologists, and philosophers from both Continental and
analytic schools.
