Nostalgia | Svetlana Boym
Nostalgia is a cultural response to change.
Nostalgia need not be conservative, stultifying or sentimental. Rather, expressions of nostalgia are one way we communicate a desire for the past, dissatisfaction about the present, and our visions for the future. My version of nostalgia will be joyful, creative and progressive.
Agnes Arnold-Forster • Nostalgia Was, in Freud’s Day, an Illness Steeped in the Past. Today, It Can Be a Joyful Emotion That Reframes the Future
