Irony, Nostalgia, and the Postmodern, by Linda Hutcheon And, in support of such a theory, literary and film critics alike have located strains of a current antifeminist, nostalgic retreat to the past in the face of the changes in culture brought about by the rise of feminism. To him, these are the inauthentic, nostalgic "celebrations of the imaginary style of a real past" which he sees as "something of a substitute for that older system of historical representation, indeed as a virtual symptom-formation, a formal compensation for the enfeeblement of historicity in our own time." Gone is the sense of belatedness of the present vis-à-vis the past; the act of ironizing (while still implicitly invoking) nostalgia undermines modernist assertions of originality, authenticity, and the burden of the past, even as it acknowledges their continuing (but not paralyzing) validity as aesthetic concerns. www.library.utoronto.ca /utel/criticism/hutchinp.html   (6684 words)

BBC - Science & Nature - Human Body and Mind - Nostalgic smells But at the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, which Hirsch runs, he is carrying out research into immediate recall of childhood memories by a particular odour, a phenomenon he refers to as olfactory-evoked recall. Hirsch believes that the details evoked by nostalgic smells are not as important as the emotions they recall. In order to study the different odours that evoked nostalgia amongst the public, Hirsch and his staff canvassed around 1,000 people on the streets of Chicago and asked them which smells stimulated a childhood memory. www.bbc.co.uk /science/humanbody/mind/articles/intelligenceandmemory/nostalgicsmells.shtml   (520 words)

Maurice Merleau-Ponty [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] However, for some critics Merleau-Ponty's notion of the body-subject, and his emphasis upon the intentional arc that inclines one towards an equilibrium and tacitly suggests the derivative nature of thought and interpretation, induces a picture of humanity that is too easy, and not reflective enough. Indeed, despite the nostalgic yearning that Merleau-Ponty occasionally seems to have for a primordial union with the world, he nevertheless makes it clear that one never returns to immediate experience. It is only a question of whether we are to try to understand it, and he believes that to attempt to express immediate experience is not to betray reason but, on the contrary, to work towards its aggrandisement. www.iep.utm.edu /m/merleau.htm   (12751 words)

Nostalgic Angels   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) As early as Chapter 2, Johnson-Eilola turns to Pratt's theory of linguistic contact zones as a perspective "towards constructing a theory and practice of hypertext that is both plausible and political" (36). While Johnson-Eilola's use of linguistics in Nostalgic Angels, by design, assumes a supporting role in his delineations and articulations of hypertexts, his focus on the social dimension of language sets the stage for a more systemic linguistic approach to hypertext environments. Though a review of Nostalgic Angels is not the place to expound on linguistic theories or arguments, I found rich and provoking connections between Johnson-Eilola's hypertext articulations and the power of a functional approach to language to explicate them. english.ttu.edu /kairos/3.1/reviews/eiler/nostal.html   (2532 words)

Reason: Back to the Future: The nostalgic yet progressive appeal of wizards, hobbits, and Jedi knights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) When the current generation of American children looks back on the first decade of the 21st century, it is possible that the three names it will most readily recall will be not Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, and George W. Bush but Harry Potter, Frodo Baggins, and Luke (or Anakin) Skywalker. To be sure, the forces of Saruman and Sauron are ultimately defeated by the unified efforts of "the four, the free peoples" -- elves, dwarves, Ents (giant, peripatetic, talking trees), and men, to which we must add the fifth free people, the hobbits of the Shire.
