Носталгия и фотографски образ
Nostalgia and photographic image

Summary/Abstract: The text examines the relationship between nostalgia and photography. Nostalgia has ancient roots, but not a very long history, which began as a medical problem in the 17th century, to transform in the following centuries into a cultural and philosophical concept reflected in media, art and mass culture. It turns out that photography – as a magic, a trace and a sign of a bygone moment – is a lasting producer of nostalgia. Photography deals with the paradigms of the real, but in the struggle for reflection, the captured before is not only an absent past, but also a promise of a possible future. The nostalgic photographic image restores the lack, the absence of the past, but appears reborn actuality and a promise for the future.
