Sažetak
This is an introduction to the theme of this special issue of Libri & Liberi. The theme of the issue was the topic of the conference People on the Move and Nostalgia in Historical Picturebooks, organised by the Department of Early Childhood Education, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, from 24 to 25 September 2022, in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. In the introduction, the author defines nostalgia and shows a connection between childhood nostalgia and picturebooks. She also introduces this special issue of Liber & Liberi that features eight contributions examining various aspects of nostalgia in historical picturebooks about people on the move. Eleven scholars explore different forms of nostalgia associated with a wide range of historical events, and in a variety of genres, spanning from auto-fictional and autobiographical picturebooks to fictionalised historical narratives. The papers illuminate the broader implications for understanding nostalgia within a historical context. By focusing on themes such as memory, loss, identity, ideology and different types and aesthetic modes of nostalgia, this issue investigates how historical picturebooks recount pivotal moments in history and convey the emotional realities of those who lived through them, highlighting the profound impact of nostalgia on their lives.
