Combining personal memoir, philosophical essay, and historical analysis, Svetlana Boym explores the spaces of collective nostalgia that connect national biography and personal self-fashioning in the twenty-first century. She guides us through the ruins and construction sites of post-communist cities–St. Petersburg, Moscow, Berlin, and Prague–and the imagined homelands of exiles-Benjamin, Nabokov, Mandelstahm, and Brodsky. From Jurassic Park to the Totalitarian Sculpture Garden, Boym unravels the threads of this global epidemic of longing and its antidotes.

Nostalgia (from nostos -- return home, and algia -- longing) is a longing for a home that no longer exists or has ever existed. Nostalgia is a sentiment of loss and displacement, but it is also a romance with one's own fantasy. Nostalgic love can only survive in a long-distance relationship.

In the seventeenth century, nostalgia was considered to be a curable disease, akin to the common cold ... By the twenty-first century, the passing ailment turned into the incurable modern condition.
The ambivalent sentiment permeates twentieth-century popular culture, where technological advances and special effects are frequently used to recreate vis... (查看原文)

作者的style非常奇妙，虽然有很多地方感觉很redundant，但是读完每个chapter甚至每个段落竟然觉得这是一种slow and relaxing immersion。非常非常喜欢写Nabokov的部分。

一直对乡愁的概念很着迷，也对一切不同角度和程度体现这一点的视觉艺术作品感兴趣。有很多有意思的概念，对乡愁的心理机制做了分析，同时分析它的内涵、状态和走向。字里行间充满人文关怀。

几年前在导师家淘到的，前几天随便翻了一下，超好看！又像散文，又像历史，又有扎实的社科和文学分析……完全停不下来，走哪都想带着，连Trust都暂时放一边了。谁曾想我差点就把它给卖了。

在20世纪60年代的某个时候，未来就像一艘过时的飞船一样被抛弃了。 怀旧本身具有乌托邦的维度，只是它不再指向未来。太空时代真是给西方带两代人的伤痕记忆...
