Whether it's "Flashback Friday" or "Throwback Thursday," audiences
are hungry for nostalgic film and television, and the streaming
giant Netflix serves up shows from the past that satisfy this
craving, in addition to producing original contemporary content
with nostalgic flavor. As a part of the series "Reboots, Remakes
and Adaptations" originated by series editors Dr. Carlen Lavigne
and Dr. Paul Booth, this edited volume focuses exclusively on the
intersection between the Netflix platform and the current nostalgia
trend in popular culture. As both a creator and distributor of
media texts, Netflix takes great advantage of a wide variety of
audience nostalgic responses, banking on attracting audiences who
seek out nostalgic content that takes them back in time, as well as
new audiences who discover "old" and reimagined content. The book
aims to interrogate the complex and contradictory notions of
nostalgia through the contemporary lens of Netflix, examining
angles such as the Netflix business model, the impact of streaming
platforms such as Netflix on the consumption of nostalgia, the
ideological nature of nostalgic representation in Netflix series,
and the various ways that Netflix content incorporates nostalgic
content and viewer responses. Many of the contributed chapters
analyze current, ongoing Netflix series, providing very timely and
original analysis by established and emerging scholars in a variety
of disciplines. What can we learn about our selves, our times, our
cultures, in response to an examination of "Netflix and Nostalgia"?
