- Title
Nostalgia: A Sphere and Process of Contemporary Ideology.
- Authors
DaSilva, Fabil B.; Faught, Jim
- Abstract
This theoretical essay looks at the ahistorical elements of nostalgia as found in popular culture, with special emphasis on discussion within the Frankfurt School offered as alternative explanations. It is argued that the anti-critical thrust of nostalgia masks the crises of monopoly capitalism and redirects the conflicts in manageable channels. This conclusion is reached in light ot analyses by Marcuse, Horkheimer, Habermas, Adorno and other critical theorists who have considered these issues.
