Nostalgia mode: connotes pastness with sentiment, affect, style, aesthetic techniques (e. g. , mad men) Jameson: postmodern crisis of historisity; demystify postmodern culture/postmodernism by trying to come to terms with the fact that the way we experience the postmod world is determined by categories of space rather than time. Similar to benjamin (mechanical reproduction) > the postmodern landscape requires new sensory apparatus to exist. *architecture: tied up in multinational business; 3d; depthlessness is physical fragmented reflection; no sense of depth; dislocation; helplessness, submit to authority in order to survive. The outside is inside; the inside becoming outside > the periphery becoming central, the central becoming peripheral draws attention to the fact that people hold expectations. : disorientation of space mirrors the disorientation we should be feeling in a latecapitalist world (lack of agency, inability to locate authority) use value.
