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
