                                              1. Considering the past: commodity, antidote, spectacle
                                            2. Authenticity
                                              1. urgency to find genuine, paradox authenticity irrelevant in PM
                                                1. connect to past, distance from present
                                                  1. Benjamin: aura of genuine objects unfindable in present
                                              2. Identity
                                                1. fashion, values, individuality (jameson says a thing of the past)
                                                2. Response
                                                  1. Dialectical opposition > the rejection of advanced consumerism and yet the nostalgia (consumer) industry permits us to travel back in time
