Notes:
The past may be a foreign country, according to L.P. Hartley, but marketers seem to have secured resident alien status. Retro products, services, advertisements and pricing policies are everywhere apparent, as are heritage centres, mega-brand museums, festival shopping malls and retrorestaurants like Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Café or Dick Clarke's American Bandstand Grill. This paper examines the retro-marketing phenomenon, notes its characteristics, causes and consequences, and makes some sure-to-prove-erroneous predictions about the future of the past.
