- Abstract:
- (Producer) G.S. Rousseau from Oxford University gives this lecture. According to him, nostalgia is a way of life for some persons, a brand of politics for others, and a marketing ploy for those eager to reap its economic benefits. Before this time, it was an illness, with fully developed medical etiology, diagnosis, and therapy. This talk traces nostalgia's shifts through the analysis of one sustained case history, and makes a pitch for the position that its most intriguing historical interlude occurred between its lengthy medical phase and more recent profile as a state of mind--biographical, political, economic--no one can define.
