I am supposed to be writing the third and final chapter of my thesis, which is about nostalgia, so instead of starting it, I made this video 🙃

Here are some decent resources on the topic, as a lot of people seem interested:

Ghosts of my life: writings on hauntology and depression by Mark Fisher (there’s a chapter called the slow cancellation of the future, which is pretty good description of how culture becomes stuck)

Babbling corpse: retrowave and the commodification of ghosts by @graftontanner (Foreverism and The Hours have lost their clocks are two other great books he wrote)

Retrotopia by Zygmunt Bauman (there’s a chapter on nostalgia)

Svetlana Boym - Nostalgia and its Discontents (not a book an essay, but deals with the different types of nostalgia and how they can be politicised.)

nettoyons notre collection (donc outside kick ass, c'est Outside - To Forgive But Not Forget)

he designed the Aphex Twin logo and the Laughing Man one

"Whilst at University Terratag became mates with the musician Aphex Twin and ended up going on tour and designing his logo"
