Hello, I am fairly new to this list, but am already impressed on what a plethora of collected wisdom the list has to offer to some of the most unlikely questions. So I thought I'd try to test your collective brains also: can you name secondary sources as to the uses of nostalgia in film? More closely, I am writing an American Studies dissertation on Woody Allen and postmodern nostalgia and, as of yet, I am lacking appropiate secondary materials (apart from Linda Hutcheon and Phil Powrie) which discuss nostalgia AND film. Often, sources on nostalgia are focussed on one very limited subject (such as early nineteenth century French film) and are hard to use in a study on more contemporary New York City materials. As I am not a film scholar, I seem somewhat out of ideas of where I could find such materials. Any ideas? I'd be very grateful... Greetings from Germany!
