‘Memory and Emotions’ workshop series: Nostalgia and Place
Registrations are now open for the Nostalgia and Place zoom workshop, on January 20 & 21 at 2:30 PM CET.
Nostalgia has long stimulated the minds of artists, urban planners, and philosophers alike, for its dual positive and negative aspects. On the positive side, nostalgia is praised for the potential advantages it gives individuals who feel it, such as motivating them to achieve their goals while away from their country of origin. On the other hand, it has been criticized as a dangerous emotion because it has been used as a political tool. The workshop organisers invite all researchers interested to learn more about the nature of nostalgia itself and its relationship to place to the event. It is aimed at exploring how nostalgia and place interact through themes of time, homesickness, and both public and private spaces.
