Beyond the Ruins: Anecdotal Histories and Aesthetics of Decay
Original language description
The article discusses the function of popular anecdotes in Mark Twain's travelogue Roughing It (1872) containing one of the first testimonies about the decay of mining towns and camps in Calfornia and Nevada after the Gold Rush. The second part is focused on the links of anecdotal humour to the nostalgia of the past, fetishist desire and economic processes.
