Throughout global history, theory and historiography, the notions of renovation, revival and regeneration have emerged numerous times in different epochs. From Renaissance and the return to the Antiquity, to Enlightenment with its fascination with the Noble Savage, to Modernism’s inclination towards folk and tradition. The strive for regeneration has been related with the nostalgia for the Golden Age triumphs, the past “better times”, or the need to establish (or re-establish) an authority.
