The third issue of LÄRM presents a collection of essays on nostalgia at the intersection of pop culture and individual memory.

What is it about the emotional warmth lurking in our recourse to the past? What about the familiar? These and other questions are explored as we delve into the topic of nostalgia by means of song, through a landscape, a picture or a film – subjectively but also critically, in the hope of grasping the shape of this strange familiarity in all its ambivalent nature.

With essays on:
Guy Maddin, Bruce Springsteen, Film noir, The Blue Nile, Vincenzo Natali (Cube), Tupac Shakur, Hirsche Nicht Aufs Sofa, Anna und Bernhard Blume
