What is nostalgia in television? How far does a nostalgic text trigger nostalgic emotions? And how are nostalgic series received by different audience groups? Stefanie Armbruster uses an interdisciplinary approach as analytical and theoretical basis. Her detailed analyses identify nostalgia in reruns, remakes and period dramas such as "Knight Rider" or "Mad Men". Focus group discussions with German and Spanish viewers give new insights into its reception. The in-depth study helps to understand the interrelation of nostalgic texts and nostalgic reception better and explores a decisive part of a phenomenon that is omnipresent in our current TV landscape. »Spannend ist die Arbeit vor allem dort, wo sie sich dem Themenkomplex aus einer dezidiert interdisziplinären Perspektive nähert und aus verschiedenen Modulen ein umfangreiches Theoriegebäude errichtet, um eine möglichst unvoreingenommene Untersuchung zu gewährleisten.« Dominik Schrey, MEDIENwissenschaft, 4 (2017) »Die Publikation bereichert Nostalgie-, Emotions- und Serienforschung gleichermaßen. Unbedingt empfehlenswert.« Susanne Eichner, tv diskurs, 82 (2017) Besprochen in: GMK-Newsletter, 10 (2016) CHOICE, 54/12 (2017), R. Ray BOKAS - Sekundärliteratur, KTS 65, Thomas Przybilka

The Aesthetics of Nostalgia TV explores the aesthetic politics of nostalgia for 1950s and 60s America on contemporary television. Specifically, it looks at how nostalgic TV production design shapes and is shaped by larger historical discourses on gender and technological change, and America's perceived decline as a global power. Alex Bevan argues that the aesthetics of nostalgic TV tell stories of their own about historical decline and progress, and the place of the baby boomer television suburb in American national memory. She contests theories on nostalgia that see it as stagnating, regressive or a reversion to outdated gender and racial politics, and the technophobic longing for a bygone era; and, instead, argues nostalgia is an important form of historical memory and vehicle for negotiating periods of historical transition. The book addresses how and why the shows construct the boomer era as a placeholder for gender, racial, technological and declensionist discourses of the present. The book uses Mad Men (AMC, 2007), Ugly Betty (ABC, 2006-2010), Desperate Housewives (ABC, 2004-2012) and film remakes of 1950s and 60s family sitcoms as primary case studies.
