Description
The Hours Have Lost Their Clock: The Politics of Nostalgia by Grafton Tanner In an era marked by uncertainty and change, nostalgia has emerged as a defining emotion. This phenomenon is not just a sentimental longing for the past but a complex and multifaceted force that shapes our politics, culture, and society. Grafton Tanner explores the rise of nostalgia in the 21st century, tracing its roots from the fight over Confederate monuments to the birth of homeland security and the mourning of species extinction. He reveals how nostalgia has become both a response to our unstable time and a defense against it, with powerful elites exploiting it for their own gain. This book is an urgent call to take nostalgia seriously, examining its power and its consequences in the context of climate change, economic anxiety, and social upheaval.
