7. Trauma and Memory Mark Jarzombek has worked extensively on this subject. His work is included in Trauma and Visuality in Modernity (University Press of New England, 2004) edited by Eric Rosenberg and Lisa Salzman. Jarzombek has held a seminar entitled “Traumatic Urbanism” that studied the legacies of urban destruction and the politics of memory. Caroline Jones has also worked on this topic in her essays for UNESCO addressing the abject body in postwar European painting by Wols, Fautrier, Burri, and others; she has extended this research with an essay on the prosthetic body in Matthew Barney's Cremaster series and interrogations of the fragmented mediated body in Sensorium (2006) and for the China New Media Festival held in conjunction with the 2008 Olympics. Stanford Anderson has published on the relation of memory to both the historiographic and professional dimensions of memory and architecture, in acknowledged major works and in vernacular architecture. James Wescoat has published research on cultural heritage conservation, conflict, and human rights in South Asia. Hélène Lipstadt, an independent scholar who has taught seminars as a Visiting Professor, is a specialist on questions of memory, space, and social theory with an emphasis on Pierre Bourdieu. She has published widely on the architecture and politics of memorials.
