Nostalgia za wiekiem pary
Streszczenie
Roughly around 2007, the popularity of steampunk aesthetics has risen unexpectedly. It has transformed from a subcultural niche into a pop culture trend, and nowadays it is attracting fans from all over the world. In addition, steampunk aesthetics has not only been used in literature, films, comic books, video games and fashion, but it has also become a lifestyle and a worldview inspired by the ideas of the Victorians. The author argues that the popularity of steampunk is the result of some kind of nostalgia shared by many consumers of popular culture. This nostalgia for the nineteenth century may result from the nature of today's technology or from the condition of contemporary society. This theory is greatly inspired by Solange Kiehlbauch’s and Re-becca Onion’s studies. Finally, the author outlines general characteristics of steampunk philosophy, basing on common opinions shared by fans of this aesthetic trend.
