This book re-examines the role of the sublime across a range of
disparate cultural texts, from architecture and art, to literature,
digital technology, and film, detailing a worrying trend towards
nostalgia and arguing that, although the sublime has the potential
to be the most powerful uniting aesthetic force, it currently
spreads fear, violence, and retrospection. In exploring
contemporary culture, this book touches on the role of architecture
to provoke feelings of sublimity, the role of art in the aftermath
of destructive events, literature's establishment of the historical
moment as a point of sublime transformation and change, and the
place of nostalgia and the returning of past practices in digital
culture from gaming to popular cinema.
