Nostalgia and heritage: potentials, mobilisations and effects

'Takes you back even if you were never there originally': class, history, and nostalgia in Gordon Burn's The North of England Home Service
Taylor & Francis
This article takes as its central focus Gordon Burn's novel The North of England Home Service (2003).

Taylor & Francis
This paper "Nostalgia" has two distinct parts: One, accounting for nostalgia, by pointing out a systematic distortion in cases of nostalgic memories-idealizing the past and presenting it as a sentimental realm of pure innocence. This distortion typifies kitsch morality, morality guided by sentimentality that can easily turn into brutality.
