Driving is a dynamic human experience. The act of operating a vehicle, our movement across space and time, and the landscapes we pass afford rich sensory experiences. However, an increasingly controlled environment in the car and on roads is diminishing many sensuous encounters of orientation, sound, smell, touch, and even sight. The growing emphasis on transport infrastructure that prioritises speed, safety, comfort and convenience -dual carriageways, bypasses, ring roads, tunnels and sound barriers -is serving to disconnect us from our journeys as emplaced experiences. These changes are leading to starkly homogeneous journeys devoid of character that result in a loss of experience and place. In this paper we examine the sensory engagement and experiences of car journeys across landscapes, considering both urban and rural environments. Using case studies from different regions of Australia, we examine the bodily experiences of modern motoring. We suggest that there is no longer an immediate engagement with the landscape being traversed. With particular consideration of understanding places in an embodied way, we consider how modernised highways are disconnecting us from developing and maintaining meaning in our understanding of roads as a significant form of heritage, and as an important mechanism through which people experience heritage.

“…Recognising nostalgia as a method of affective practice, allows us to share it as an inspirational tool that evokes positive thinking and imagination towards a better future (Wetherell, 2012). As a practice of recalling the past that is overtly and often flagrantly passionate, nostalgia is a significant phenomenon in observing how the past is both brought to bear on the present day and on the expansion of political, economic and social agendas for the future (Smith and Campbell, 2017).…”

“…Highlighting the nostalgic elements within the OEP, would without doubt offer nostalgia for the future, a path that the descendants envisaged during their own time. Hence, this form of nostalgia is imaginative, helpful, creative, and maps the way forward (see Bonnett and Alexander, 2013;Cashman, 2006;Keightley and Pickering, 2012;Smith, 2006;Smith and Campbell, 2011;Smith and Campbell, 2017). Nostalgia is not only radical, but is also an overt process that significantly engages and navigates ways of positively tackling social change.…”

The original Qatar National Museum that was established in 1975 as a pioneer museum in the gulf region was closed in 2005 for renovation. The new National Museum of Qatar (NMoQ) took more than a decade, around fourteen years from 2005-2019 to accomplish. It is one of Qatar's mega projects, which was opened with a VIP opening celebration that was held in 27 th of March 2019, and opened officially for the public on 28 th. After more than a decade in creation, the NMoQ finally designed to reflect and narrate the story, history and ambition of the state and to become an icon for modern Doha. Ever since its establishment in 1975 the national museum has been a matter of making a place for the Qatari culture and history. Although the museum is refurbished into totally new vision and setting, it still belongs to the same history and serves the same nation. Both visions are pursuing to identify the continuance progressions of the country, which takes the state's history as its stem. However, we need to know which methodology the current establishment is using, and to what drama it could lead? What differences does the present introduce with respect to the past? This paper discusses and analyses the interpretation of the Qatari culture, heritage, and history, by examining the architecture of the new NMoQ. The purpose of the paper is to trace and compare the national museum's presentation and interpretation of Qatari culture and history, between the past and present, through its architecture. In addition, the paper investigates the changing economic, social, and political codes of Qatar through the reordering of cultural materials.

“…Otras perspectivas (la misma Boym, 2001;Legg, 2005;Cashman, 2006;Smith, 2006;Smith y Campbell 2017;Loveday, 2014) ven en ella, por otro lado, un ingrediente reflexivo y, en consecuencia, mucho más productivo, por cuanto aborda positivamente el trauma comunitario con su historia y reconoce la imposibilidad de reconstruir ese pasado, aun cuando parece recrearse "sobre las ruinas, la pátina del tiempo y de la historia, en los sueños de otro lugar y otro tiempo" 16 (Boym, 2001, p. 42). La nostalgia reflexiva entrañaría así un análisis crítico de la historia y la memoria de la comunidad, pero no se propondría reconstruir su pasado.…”

El camino de Sísifo y la nostalgia reflexiva en el cine de Juan José Campanella

Tomando como referencia herramientas de la geografía crítica, los estudios culturales, de política y de urbanismo, este artículo propone explorar la cuestión de los espacios urbanos representados en dos productos fílmicos de Juan José Campanella: Luna de Avellaneda (2004) y Metegol (2013). Se presta especial atención al contexto de producción de las películas y se analizan también la recurrencia de ciertas “ficciones orientadoras” (Shumway, 1993), la construcción de sus límites imaginarios y las relaciones que los personajes tienen con ellos. Se concluye que ambas películas proyectan reconstrucciones simbólicas de larga data sobre su sociedad, al tiempo que exhiben sus luchas irresueltas y debaten un sentido de pertenencia comunitario.
