Résumé: Media and Nostalgia is an interdisciplinary, international and 
critical exploration of media and their relation to nostalgia. The 
volume takes a closer look at the recent nostalgia boom, as for example, 
digital photography that adopts a vintage style, the success of 
television series such as Mad Men, revivals of past music, fashion, and 
video games. However, this current nostalgia wave is not simply a 
fascination with the past; rather, it hints at something more profound. 
Expressions of nostalgia indicate a double helix type phenomenon with 
slower reactions to ever-faster technologies, and the possibility of an 
escape from the current crisis into a middle status of wanderlust 
(Fernweh) and a specific form of nostalgia such as homesickness. Each 
chapter demonstrates how nostalgia has always been a media-related 
matter, analysing, among others, digital photography, television series, 
film and home videos. This collection explores the ways in which various 
media produce narratives of nostalgia, how they trigger nostalgic 
emotions and how they can in fact be a creative projection space in 
themselves.
