(2018) Nostalgia, loss and creativity in south-east Europe, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
This chapter seeks to examine not only the regional problems of population disruption in South-Eastern Europe, but also to set our concerns in an overall perspective, namely that of global migration. Nostalgia is not asynchronic; it needs to be related to the overall context of modernity, and indeed of post-modernity. In order to react appropriately to these contemporary demographic upheavals, we need to exercise empathy and imagine ourselves into the perceptions of people whose thinking about their place is rather different from our own. We are called upon to enter imaginatively into the degree of disruption experienced by individuals removed from the place where these relationships are the essence of being.
