Nostalgic Generations and Media: Perception of Time and Available Meaning argues that the cultural rise in nostalgic media has the multi-generational impact of making the subjective experience of time speed up for those who are nostalgic, as well as create a surrogate nostalgic identity for younger generations by continually feeding them the content of their elders. This book is recommended for scholars interested in communication, media studies, and memory/nostalgia studies.
Ryan Lizardi’s reflection on nostalgic generations is a valuable addition to the growing literature on nostalgia and its relations to media. It will be a very useful source for scholars and students working on the nostalgic production of video games and film.
