Nostalghia unto Death
Submitted by Nathan_Coombs on Saturday, 26 September, 2009 - 12:20
Nathan Coombs The famous Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky once described the experience of exile for a Russian as “nostalghia” – he insisted that the word not be translated into proper English, but rather retain the Italian translation of the Russian word "??????????." For Tarkovsky, who evinced a peculiar brand of medievalist Russian nationalism throughout his work, a Russian leaving their homeland would experience a form of spiritual and physical death; and, indeed, the central character, the semi-autobiographical poet, Andrei Gorchakov, does actually die at the end of his film Nostalghia. subject: Activism | Anarchist | AntiCapitalist | Art | Blogging | Books | Communism | Film | Globalisation | History | Immigration | Labour Struggles | Marxist | Nationalism | Politics

But will this mean global depression, wars and intensified authoritarianism, or a renewed opportunity for communism? subject: AntiCapitalist | Class | Communism | Fictitious Capital | Financial Crisis | Marxist | Nationalism | Theory & Philosophy
