Remembering Places

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between memory and place, the study delves into our innate desire to revisit significant locations from our past. By referencing philosophers like Husserl and Heidegger, Janet Donohoe employs the concept of a palimpsest to illustrate how memories are intertwined with physical spaces. She argues that these layers of experience shape our understanding of tradition, demonstrating how memory is inscribed upon places and vice versa, creating a rich tapestry of human experience.
