Media and Nostalgia

Media and Nostalgia is an interdisciplinary and international exploration of media and their relation to nostalgia. Each chapter demonstrates how nostalgia has always been a media-related matter, studying also the recent nostalgia boom by analysing, among others, digital photography, television series and home videos.

The book is divided into four sections each dealing with a distinct area of concern. The scope of the material covered in this volume, and the rigour of the thought provoking chapters within, make this book an extremely welcome and valuable addition to the growing literature on history, memory and nostalgia.
