ENVIRONMENTAL & ARCHITECTURAL PHENOMENOLOGY (winter 2016) (original) (raw)

The winter 2016 issue of Environmental and Architectural Phenomenology is now available. This issue begins 27 years of publication and marks the first digital-only edition. Because of this shift to on-line EAPs only, we are reducing the number of issues from three to two—winter and fall. This issue includes the regular EAP features of “comments from readers,” “items of interest” and “citations received.” The issue also includes: A tribute to phenomenological psychologist Bernd Jager, who passed away in March, 2015. In memoriam, we reprint passages from two of his most noteworthy writings, “Theorizing, Journeying, Dwelling” (1975) and “Theorizing the Elaboration of Place” (1983). A “book note” that reproduces a portion of an interview with phenomenological philosopher Edward Casey, published in the recent volume, Exploring the Work of Edward Casey, edited by Azucena Cruz-Pierre and Donald A. Landes. A book review of archaeologist Christopher Tilley’s Interpreting Landscapes, by Northern Earth Editor John Billingsley. A commentary that philosopher Dylan Trigg presented at the special session on “Twenty-Five years of EAP,” held at the annual meeting of the International Association for Environmental Philosophy (IAEP) in October. Independent researcher Stephen Wood’s “Moving: Remaking a Lifeworld,” in which he offers a first-person phenomenology of moving to a new house, including the lived significance of embodied emplacement. Anthropologist Jenny Quillien’s “Wordless Walkabouts on a Chinese Campus,” which discusses the “sense of place” Quillien experienced while spending three weeks in the South Chinese city of Guangzhou. Artist Victoria King’s “The Imprint of Place,” which considers how King’s sense of artistic creativity has shifted over time, partly because of maturing personal experience and partly because of changes in her lived geography and a deepening understanding of place. Architect Gary Coates’ “Reinventing the Screened Porch: Bioclimatic Design in the American Midwest,” which presents an experiential analysis of a porch Coates designed for his Kansas home.
