The research network Heritage Transformation invite you to a seminar where we read parts of Svetlana Boym’s book The future of Nostalgia.
we read parts of Svetlana Boym’s book The future of Nostalgia.
We concentrate on the introduction (Taboo on nostalgia) and chapter 1 (from cured soldiers to incurable romantics: nostalgia and progress). Think through the reading from the perspective of your discipline. Consider aspects like how to you understand Boym’s discussion of nostalgia and how is it relevant in your field? How can we understand her writing from an interdisciplinary perspective? If you want to join and have problems finding the book please contact Cecilia Rodéhn.
