3rd SESSION (in English)

15:20 – 16:00 / Keynote lecture – Grafton Tanner: The Birth of the Nostalgic Subject
The presentation will trace a short genealogy of the production of the nostalgic subject: the backward figure in need of what Foucault called “supercorrection” to join the responsible ranks of progressive-minded individuals. In the talk, I’ll address how the production of this subject through western history reveals that accusations of nostalgia were and are still intimately bound with prejudices against the past and that nostalgia, though considered by psychologists to be a universal emotion, remains a necessary conceptual foil to sanction progress narratives.
Grafton Tanner is the author of several books, including The Hours Have Lost Their Clock: The Politics of Nostalgia. His work on nostalgia, technology, and capitalism has appeared in The Nation, the Los Angeles Review of Books, Real Life, and NPR’s Throughline. He is a professor at the University of Georgia.
