- W2034761205 abstract "Despite their propensity to project both narrators and readers into the future, a fixation on the moral certitudes and strengthening legacy of the past is of central importance in many American utopian formulations. Sometimes futurism and nostalgia coincide with eerie simultaneity, as they did in Ronald Reagan's 1984 Morning in America commercials, which offered a vision of the future's promises safely housed and protected in the neighborhoods and values of the (Eisenhower era) past. More often, however, when backward- and forward-looking impulses converge they do so in a less deliberate and more noticeably conflicted way. If, as historian Michael Kammen puts it, Americans are locked into a relentlessly dialogic relationship between the values of tradition and progress (modernism),' we should not be surprised that our informants' recollections of the good old days represent their closest approximation of the same utopia that more deliberate minds have shaped out of their projections onto the future. Since the past appears to be a world from which we have safely divided ourselves-a bounded and self-contained realm-our carefully framed memories of it offer security in troubled and unpredictable times. Indeed, the desire to articulate such recollections, as oral historian Vieda Skultans observes, be understood as part of a larger, universal human attribute, -the drive to see lives as stories which can make sense of a disrupted past.2 I" @default.
