Using letters, diaries, memoirs, medical records, and psychological studies, this wide-ranging book uncovers the profound pain felt by Americans on the move from the country's founding until the present day. Susan Matt shows how colonists in Jamestown longed for and often returned to England, African Americans during the Great Migration yearned for their Southern homes, and immigrants nursed memories of Sicily and Guadalajara and, even after years in America, frequently traveled home. These iconic representatives of the undaunted, forward-looking American spirit were often homesick, hesitant, and reluctant voyagers.

Inspired by Svetlana Boym's seminal study The Future of Nostalgia (2001), the authors of the sixteen chapters demonstrate that this sentiment proves to be a useful key in the process, opening up new interpretive vistas and enabling new critical insights.

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.
