A THEORETICAL AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR STUDYING NOSTALGIA
Keywords:
nostalgia, Serbia, Yugoslavia, yugonostalgia, remembering, memory, personal narratives, historical nostalgiaAbstract
In this paper the authors attempt to define a precise conceptual apparatus for studying nostalgia, for the purpose of constructing a complete theoretical and methodological platform which would serve as a basis for further research. This project was envisioned as an interdisciplinary process which includes an anthropologist of folklore (folklorist), a psychologist and an anthropologist who will follow up on three kinds of nostalgia narratives – the life story as a folk narrative, personal memories as a product of remembering and oral history as the foremost form of nostalgia narrative. By comparing these three kinds of narrative we intend to determine whether there are any connections between these discourses and what the nature of these connections is.
