Introducing Nostalgia Movements
Following the successful interdisciplinary international conference Nostalgia Movements, held on December 15-16, 2022, at the Multimedia Institute in Zagreb (MaMa) and online, SF:ius, in collaboration with the Center for Visual Studies, has published an expanded volume of conference papers. Titled Introducing Nostalgia Movements, this book has been edited by Dr. Dario Vuger, Curator at the Museum of Fine Arts in Osijek. The volume includes scientific contributions, interviews, essays, and reviews of artistic works and is available in open access for all interested readers and researchers.
Introducing Nostalgia Movements presents a psychogeographical outline of efforts to critically engage with the phenomenon of nostalgia in contemporary everyday life. Through essays, interviews, research, aesthetic reflections, and artistic responses, this volume seeks to demonstrate the scope of nostalgia’s influence on modern culture as a way of life, an emotion, and as a reaction provoked by techno-scientific developments of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Rather than offering a simple introduction or a concise history of nostalgia, this book serves as both an academic resource and a practical guide for understanding nostalgia, especially where its effects are most pronounced: in the popular culture of our time.
