British culture and politics has a tendency to look back which has become ever more pronounced in the past decade. This seminar explores the concept of nostalgia and how it is instrumentalised in British politics and culture. The particular focus of the seminar will lie on those decades to which nostalgic films, novels, and political references refer most often, in particular the 1930s and 1940s, and the immediate aftermath of World War II. We will study films, extracts from literary texts, advertisements and other more ephemeral sources to explore nostalgic Britain.
This course is held in English. It offers 5 LP.
The contact details will be published here nearer the start of the semester.
