SUMMARY:Vintage and “Vinastalgia”: The Uncertainty of Nostalgic Objects in Post-Reform Vietnam (1)
LOCATION:Room 0.30
DESCRIPTION:The nostalgia industry is booming in Vietnam, yet few scholars 
 have taken seriously the relationship between material culture and memories
  of life under socialism. This stands in contrast to the large body of lite
 rature on “Ostalgie,” or nostalgic feelings for certain objects or products
  produced in the Communist East, and the cultural practices and lifeworlds 
 attached to them. While cautious not to romanticize, scholars have theorize
 d nostalgia for objects associated with a difficult past as a means to make
  sense of the uncertainties of the present, particularly as these material 
 worlds are discontinued or threatened with destruction and removal from con
 temporary life. On the other hand, many of such objects have been commodifi
 ed and turned into souvenirs for tourist consumption. Paying careful attent
 ion to gender and generation, this panel brings together a diverse set of i
 nterdisciplinary scholars across multiple institutions to examine the mater
 ial legacies of objects that evoke nostalgic memories and experiences among
  certain segments of the Vietnamese population on the one hand, and non-Vie
 tnamese consumers of de-historicized objects, marketed as “socialist kitsch
 .” We aim to theorize a new approach to the study of nostalgic objects in p
 ost-reform Vietnam, or what the panel identifies as “Vinastalgia,” by looki
 ng at coal briquettes, red tourism, collective housing, artwork, the TV sho
 w Ký Ức Vui Vẻ (Happy Memories), Bao Cấp cafes, and hip-hop dancing around 
 monuments, to offer new perspectives on the role of the socialist past in t
 he rapidly changing present.
