Temat seminarium:

“Nostalgia – an emotion than transgress disciplines and media types”
Nostalgia makes us all tick! In this talk, I will outline some of the major directions nostalgia as an emotion and as an academic discipline has taken in contemporary debates and classifications. Nostalgia is a highly interdisciplinary topic, investigated in sociology, psychology, neuroscience, history, philosophy and the arts, and it operates through all medial platforms such as film, music, literature, social media, and news media. It plays an extensive role in current environmental debates and the concept of the great adjustment our globe is facing in order to meet the ecological crisis. Nostalgia, though, is also a personal and subjective matter, and an aesthetic modality of its own.
