Nostalgia and Desire: A Phenomenological Elucidation

Abstract

The aim of this work is to present a phenomenological exploration of the intentionality of nostalgia. It is a complex act with different moments of its constitution. One of the most interesting of them is the longing implied in this experience. According to a husserlian approach, I suggest the possibility of a phenomenological determination of the specificity of the nostalgic longing and its intentional correlate.
