Once a center of transatlantic cultural exchange and the
avant-garde arts, New York City has transformed into a global
metropolis. This book traces a shift that took shape as cultural
practices and media underwent dramatic changes: it takes us from
modernist visions of urban sublimity to postmodernist cityscapes;
from Hart Crane's Brooklyn Bridge to the Flushing Meadows
fairgrounds; from Mina Loy's poetics to Klaus Nomi's transgressive
musical performances and Jem Cohen's multimedia experiments; from
Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and the Magnum Photos portfolio to
post-9/11 cinema and the photo blogs of the internet age. As we
visit these urban spaces and dreamscapes, we enter territories that
remain contested, dynamic locales in a city that keeps unfolding
its transformative force.
Nostalgie boomt - als kulturelles Phanomen wie als
Forschungsgegenstand. Was aber ist und wie wirkt Nostalgie? Dieses
Buch zeigt auf, wie Nostalgie die Zeit anzuhalten sucht und unsere
Wahrnehmung steuert. Eng verknupft mit dem Aufkommen neuer
Medientechnologien und Prozessen des Konsums schaffen Nostalgie und
Retro imaginierte Zeit-Raume, die Vergangenes neu erfinden und sich
Zukunftigem oeffnen. Nostalgia booms - both as cultural phenomenon
and as research object. Yet what is nostalgia, and how does it
work? This book shows how nostalgia aims at arresting time and
channels our perception. Inextricably entwined with the rise of new
media technologies and processes of consumption, nostalgia and
retro create imagined time-spaces which reinvent the past and face
the future.
