Nostalgia: A Philosophical Journey of Recollection

Panel: 
Gloomy Malaise? I: Re-evaluating Nostalgia and Nation in Literature and Cultural Studies
Abstract: 

I will explore the kind of nostalgia that enables us to bring about the new. Such nostalgia is different from the sentimental longing for a past event or a far away home. A name that Plato gave to its journey is recollection—the remembering of that which did not occur. Or, more precisely, that did not occur yet.
