Nostalgia 2: Dr. Will Kurlinkus

Dr. Will Kurlinkus discusses different concepts related to nostalgia in their final project document, including: 1) The idea of "non-places" that evoke nostalgic feelings, such as old designs of fast food restaurants, malls, and video stores. 2) The concept of a "deadzone" being places like abandoned malls that can be revived through gentrification. 3) The potential for young people and children to feel nostalgia in the same way as older individuals.

NOSTALGIA 2

Dr. Will Kurlinkus


FINAL PROJECT

4/19/23 Sample Footer Text 2


• Non-Place: “Transit points and temporary abodes
like hotel chains, supermarkets, airports, and retail
outlets….nobody knows who you are in a non-place;
you are, instead, alone together with others,
anonymous, a ghost.”
• “Yearn for the way a place used to look before
it became a non-place”
• We can be nostalgic for non-places: old fast-
food designs, the mall, the video rental store

• Deadzone: when a non-place dies. Abandoned


malls. Can be revived through gentrification (aka
faux realness)

• Nostalgia-scape

• “The seasons of my life when I felt most nostalgic


are those when I felt most out of control”

• Q. Why might young people and kids feel as


nostalgic as older people?
