Colloque, « Retrofuturism 2.0 », en ligne, 31 août-1 septembre 2023.

« The post-pandemic internet has seen a boom of micro-genres on platforms such as Tumblr and TikTok.

Subcultures emerging during the 2010s have been joined by trends such as cottagecore and dark academia.

Following last year’s symposium on musical retrofuturism, this online symposium widens our focus to encompass contemporary ‘nostalgiacore’ in music and audiovisual media. We use this term to refer to an aesthetic emerging from the archival, escapist, and remediating capacities of the internet. We are interested not only in memory, but also the intersections of media and imagination—the ways in which nostalgia and desire can be cultivated for an era that was not experienced directly. »
