Dr. Trigg was interviewed by Laureano Ralon on March 20th, 2012 as part of the Figure/Ground Communication scholarly interview series: http://www.figureground.ca/interviews/

Dylan 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 (Athens: Ohio University Press, 2012) and The Aesthetics of Decay: Nothingness, Nostalgia and the Absence of Reason (New York: Peter Lang, 2006)
