The link between utopia and nostalgia and its reflection on literature

Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Review - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 7

Abstract

Nostalgia technically refers to human feeling of missing the past and those things s/he has lost. Different factors contribute to this feeling, including the human's social and political situation and, in general, his/her life situation. This nostalgic feeling, in itself, manifests in different forms, such as missing the past, extreme tendency to return to homeland, the recourse to childhood and its regretful reminisce, myth, archaism, visualization of utopia. One of the important causes of human feeling of missing is dissatisfaction with the situation in which s/he lives, and this itself is the crucial and fundamental cause of visualization of utopia in human mind. In this article, the researchers have discussed the relationship between utopia and Nostalgia from the perspectives of the world's best thinkers and scientists.
