{"product_id":"the-future-of-nostalgia","title":"The Future Of Nostalgia","description":"From an award-winning cultural theorist, the classic work on the intricate relationship between longing and belonging\n\n“A remarkable book… brilliant.”―New York Times\n\nCan one be nostalgic for the home one never had? Why is it that the age of globalization is accompanied by a no less global epidemic of nostalgia? Can we know what we are nostalgic for? In the seventeenth century, Swiss doctors believed that opium, leeches, and a trek through the Alps would cure nostalgia. In 1733 a Russian commander, disgusted with the debilitating homesickness rampant among his troops, buried a soldier alive as a deterrent to nostalgia.\n\nIn The Future of Nostalgia, Svetlana Boym develops a comprehensive approach to this elusive ailment. Combining personal memoir, philosophical essay, and historical analysis, Boym explores the spaces of collective nostalgia that connect national biography and personal self-fashioning in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0465007082\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0465007082.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Boym, Svetlana\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
