Krátky popis
'Absorbing' - Guardian'Arnold-Forster is a shrewd critic and
delightful guide . . .She carries weighty learning lightly –
embracing everything relevant, from dubious neuroscience to cod
sociology.' - The TelegraphIn Nostalgia: A History of a Dangerous
Emotion, Agnes Arnold-Forster blends neuroscience and psychology
with the history of medicine and emotions to explore the evolution
of nostalgia from its first identification in seventeenth-century
Switzerland (when it was held to be an illness that could, quite
literally, kill you) to the present day (when it is co-opted by
advertising agencies and politicians alike to sell us goods and
policies). Nostalgia is a social and political emotion, vulnerable
to misuse, and one that reflects the anxieties of the age. It is
one of the many ways we communicate a desire for the past,
dissatisfaction with the present and our visions for the
future.Arnold-Forster’s fascinating history of this complex,
slippery emotion is a lens through which to consider the changing
pace of society, our collective feelings of regret, dislocation and
belonging, the conditions of modern and contemporary work, and the
politics of fear and anxiety. It is also a clear-eyed analysis of
what we are doing now, how we feel about it and what we might want
to change about the world we live in. ‘Arnold-Forster belongs to
that valuable non-jargon-spouting breed of academic who is capable
of explaining complex ideas in simple language.’ - The Times
