This volume explores the nature of nostalgia as an important
emotion in contemporary society and social theory. Situated between
the 'sociology of emotions' and 'nostalgia studies', it considers
the reasons for which nostalgia appears to be becoming an
increasingly significant and debated emotion in late-modern
culture. With chapters offering studies of nostalgia at micro-,
meso- and macro-levels of society, it offers insights into the rise
to prominence of nostalgia and the attendant consequences.
Thematically organised and examining the role of nostalgia on an
individual level - in the lives of concrete individuals - as well
as analysing its function on a more historical social level as a
collective and culturally shared emotion, Nostalgia Now brings
together the latest empirical and theoretical work on an important
contemporary emotion and proposes new agendas for research. As
such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, social theory,
psychology and cultural studies with interests in the emotions.
