Anotace knihy

Considering the current rash of film remakes, vintage video game downloads, and box sets of bygone television shows, media today is obsessed with nostalgia. Preoccupation with the past is not inherently problematic, as any history can teach us about the present and future. However, this is not the type of nostalgia encouraged by contemporary media. Instead of presenting a past that functions as an adaptive mirror with which we can compare and contrast our contemporary situation, the past is instead presented as an individualized version that transfixes us as uncritical citizens of our own culture. Attachments to beloved lost media objects are encouraged; ones that refuse to properly release the object of their attention. Mediated Nostalgia argues that the cultural implication of a cross-media eternal return to nostalgia is an increasing reliance on defining who we are as people and societies by what media we consumed as children. The unblinking eye toward the past knows no progress, or at the very least, does not employ the past to compare and adaptively engage with the present or future.
