This special issue of the journal Intermediality proposes to study nostalgia across distinct historical epochs and at the intersection of several media. The issue invites researchers to explore how the notion has been associated to cultural survival, temporal montages, remediations of memories. By approaching nostalgia in terms of intermediality, they seek to underscore the plurality of relations that overlap within different phenomena, and the different ways they engage with the media’s material conditions, the media environments in which distinct practices and exchanges develop, and the production of discourses and affects. The issue, which aims to include researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, will focus on specific case studies that demonstrate the diverse intermedial dimensions of nostalgia.
