studies, media studies, literature, etc. Especially nostalgia, as Sean Scanlan states, has “an uncanny ability to exceed any constraining definition” (1). As a Greek term, comprising the two parts “nostos” (to return home) and “algos” (pain), nostalgia, Linda Hutcheon explains, was coined in 1688 by a Swiss medical student “as a sophisticated … way to talk about a literally lethal kind of severe homesickness” (1). In Nicholas Dames’ terms, nostalgia is a form of “retrospect that remembers only what is pleasant and only what the self can employ in the present; … [it is] an absence; what it lacks is what… has come to be regarded as memory in its purest form” (4). Nostalgia, then, is a “memory that is always only the necessary prehistory of the present [which] consists of the stories about one’s past that explain and consolidate memory rather than dispersing it into a
series of vivid, relinquished moments and … [which] can only survive by eradicating the ‘pure memory’” (Dames 4). </O:P></span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div> <O:P></O:P> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma;" lang="EN-US">Nostalgia has always been a useful compensatory tool to construct an alternative historical reality created by the images of the golden past, especially when there is discontent with the present socio-economic situation in any culture. Just like governing bodies, modern global corporations also use nostalgia to advertise their commodities by relating either their products or companies to a more desirable time in the past. By implanting modified images in the prospective clients’ minds, such advertising strategies rewrite history through forged memories about the good old days when prices were more reasonable, goods
more durable, and services were more satisfactory.<O:P> </O:P></span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma;" lang="EN-US">As Dylan Trigg, the author of <i style="">The Aesthetics of Decay: Nothingness, Nostalgia, and the Absence of Reason </i>(2006) claims, “nostalgia demands … the fixation of the past … Thus, both static images – memories – and lived experience – place – serve as homogenous platforms for the nostalgic conscious to impose and identify itself” (1). Both memory and nostalgia, then, have always had some spatial and territorial connotations, whether real or ideal, either in some negative or positive sense. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div> <O:P></O:P> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 5pt; text-indent: 1cm;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Tahoma;" lang="EN-US">This symposium, then, aims to explore how memory and nostalgia collaborate to construct a meaningful space in a given culture, both individually and collectively, either through “the willing suspension of disbelief” or as a state apparatus, with reference to such issues as globalism, consumerism, nation-states, neo-conservatism, etc. During the symposium we hope<span style=""> </span>such questions as Linda Hutcheon raises about the relationship between postmodernism and nostalgia will also be discussed: “Was [the] postmodern recalling of the past an example of a conservative – and therefore nostalgic – escape to an idealized, simpler era of ‘real’” (1). Or, if “nostalgia is given surplus meaning and value at certain moments – millennial moments, like our own,” has nostalgia become an “obsession of both mass culture and high art” or is it only
“the media’s obsession”? (Hutcheon 1).<O:P> </O:P></span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.3pt;"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 21.3pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma;" lang="EN-US">Proposals might include, but are not limited to:<O:P> </O:P></span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 42.55pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma;" lang="EN-US"><O:P> </O:P> </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 2cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Symbol;" lang="EN-US">·</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="EN-US"> </span><span style="font-size:
