Figure/Ground Communication’s latest scholarly interview is with Dylan
Trigg. Dr. Trigg is currently a CNRS/Volkswagen Stiftung post-doctoral
researcher at The Centre de Recherche en Épistémologie Appliquée. He
previously taught philosophy at the University of Sussex and continues to
teach philosophy privately in Sussex. He earned his PhD at the same
university, submitting a thesis on the materiality of memory. His thesis
was supervised by Tanja Staehler and Paul Davies, and examined by Edward S.
Casey (Stony Brook) and Celine Surpenant (University of Sussex). He has
been a visiting scholar at Duquesne University, USA, a guest lecturer at
the University of Montana, USA, and an invited speaker to several
conferences. His research includes: phenomenology (especially
Merleau-Ponty, Bachelard, Husserl, and Heidegger); the phenomenology of
place (especially spatial phobias, memory and materiality, and the
aesthetics of space); and various aspects of bodily existence (especially
body memory, body horror, anxiety, eroticism, disease, and the prehistory
of the body). He is currently writing a book on agoraphobia. In addition to
many articles, Trigg is the author of two books:* **The Memory of Place: a
Phenomenology of the Uncanny*
<http://www.ohioswallow.com/book/The+Memory+of+Place>(Athens:
Ohio University Press, 2012) and *The Aesthetics of Decay: Nothingness,
Nostalgia and the Absence of Reason* (New York: Peter Lang, 2006).
