Back
Actually been back for a couple of weeks now. Currently writing an article about my trip, which has actually ended up being more about nostalgia and the Hatch bit will be a kind of 'side-article' thing illustrating my own nostalgic tendencies. Visited Melbourne on my way back where we all had a meeting and I literally had nothing new to offer! So using this text as an exploration of my use of the term nostalgia has been helpful. Helpful, in the sense that in doing this I've found that perhaps (as Lisa had already suggested!) nostalgia is not the right word? The same thing happened with my use of the term 'appropriation'. Both of these influence my topic but are not what I think will, finally, motivate it.
I will post the text here when I'm finished it, along with some of the images that will be used to illustrate it. Once that's done, there's certain aspects of the trip that I want to discuss more, and of course a bunch of records I bought while away.
Come back soon . . .
