Dylan Trigg is an IRC post-doctoral research fellow in Philosophy at UCD, Dublin, working on a project entitled "Merleau-Ponty and the Prehistory of the Subject." He has previously held a CNRS/Volkswagen Stiftung post-doctoral position at Les Archives Husserl, École Normale Supérieure and The Centre de Recherche en Épistémologie Appliquée, Paris. He received his PhD from the University of Sussex with a thesis on the materiality of memory. His research includes: phenomenology (especially Merleau-Ponty, Levinas, Bachelard, Husserl, and Heidegger); the phenomenology of place (especially spatial phobias, memory and materiality, and the aesthetics of space); psychoanalysis (Freud and Lacan); and various aspects of bodily existence (intersubjectivity, identity, and affectivity). Dr Trigg is the author of three books:
Body Parts (Paris: 3AM Press, 2012);
The Memory of Place: a Phenomenology of the Uncanny (Athens: Ohio University Press, 2012); and
The Aesthetics of Decay: Nothingness, Nostalgia and the Absence of Reason (New York: Peter Lang, 2006).He is currently completing a monograph entitled
The World of Phobia: a Phenomenological Study.
