Bick Grand Valley State University, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/cine Part of the Other Film and Media Studies Commons Recommended Citation Bick, Jamie L.

Bick: Mediated Nostalgia and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" Faint Glimmers of Civilization: Mediated Nostalgia and The Grand Budapest Hotel by Jamie Bick As a tool of an uncritical, backwards-gazing “media-defined past” (Lizardi 137), mediated nostalgia is increasingly concerned with how “persuasion through the pop culture of preceding generations” can be used to integrate an often-unlived past into the modern viewer's identity and worldview (De Revere, par. 5). Mediated nostalgia is akin to the neologism “legislated nostalgia,” coined by Douglas Coupland in his 1991 novel Generation X, and described as the process of “forc[ing] a body of people to have memories they do not actually possess” (Coupland 41); corporations likely use this process to market and sell a viewer's nostalgia back to them. While the nostalgic assimilation sought by the viewer is ultimately achieved through the repeated psychological absorption of various media, often with the aid of democratized media technologies like the Internet, the embrace of mediated nostalgia by film is not entirely nefarious and capitalistic.

  • Alumna Spotlight July 2018 Xiaopei Xu '10
    Alumna Spotlight July 2018 Xiaopei Xu '10 Xiaopei Xu '10 How did Linden Hall affect your life after graduation? Linden Hall affected my life significantly. It was my first time attending an all-girls school, and it was my first time speaking English all day because I previously studied in China. The whole experience was new and exciting. It opened my eyes and built my first impression and connection with this country. What piece of advice would you share with girls at Linden Hall today? Challenge yourself; don't be afraid to try new things. When you find a passion that speaks to your heart, stay with it and be persistent and disciplined. What did you love most about Linden Hall? The close relationship between students and teachers. They were always willing to give students extra help and answer questions outside the classrooms, even on weekends, if the teacher also lived on campus. Describe your experience at Linden Hall. What is your favorite memory? I felt the most self-driven and focused during my time at Linden Hall. My most special memory is practicing piano in the chapel every day after classes. The beautiful space is empty and pure. It's usually pretty dark inside, but I always only used a little lamp on the piano because I liked the feeling of being protected by the darkness and quietness. It gave me inner peace and I learned so much of the Bach repertoire there...what a magical time! After I went off to college, I still missed those moments very much.
