ABSTRACT
One penetrating evocation of the movement/rest dyad is provided by Bernd Jager, whose work was discussed in relation to the monad of place and lived emplacement. Phenomenologist Otto Bollnow describes the dyad of movement and rest as "the one basic dynamic of 'there and back again.' Movement is related to horizon, reach, and unfamiliarity, just as rest is related to home, nearness, and taken-for-grantedness. Through movement, human beings extend their awareness of distance, environments, and experience, whereas through rest, they invoke at-homeness, comfortableness, and dwelling. Largely because of geographer Edward Relph's Place and Placelessness, the dyad of insideness and outsideness has become a central focus for phenomenological studies relating to place and place experience. In part because of this continual lived exchange of opposites, human beings gain both stability and uncommonness in their ordinary and extra-ordinary lives.
