The Promise of Nostalgia: Reminiscence, Longing and Hope in Contemporary American Culture: Routledge Research in Anticipation and Futures
Autor Nicola Sayersen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 ian 2020
Counter to the prevalent caricature of nostalgia as anti-future, the book proposes a more nuanced reading of its stakes and meanings. Instead of understanding it as evidence of the absence of utopia it contends that there is a masked utopian impulse in this nostalgia ‘mode’ and critical potential in what has typically been dismissed as ideological.
This book will be of interest to scholars, graduate students and upper-level undergraduate students interested in contemporary culture, cultural theory, media studies, the Frankfurt School, utopian studies and American literature and culture.
