Film has shaped modern society in part by changing its cultures of
memory. Film, Music, Memory reveals that this change has rested in
no small measure on the mnemonic powers of music. As films were
consumed by growing American and European audiences, their
soundtracks became an integral part of individual and collective
memory. Berthold Hoeckner analyzes three critical processes through
which music influenced this new culture of memory: storage,
retrieval, and affect. This book shows that films store memory
through an archive of cinematic scores. In turn, a few bars from a
soundtrack instantly recall the image that accompanied them, and
along with it the affective experience of the movie. Hoeckner
examines films that reflect directly on memory, whether by
featuring an amnesic character, a traumatic event, or a surge of
nostalgia. As the history of cinema unfolded, movies even began to
recall their own history through quotations, remakes, and stories
about how cinema contributed to the soundtrack of people's lives.
Ultimately, Film, Music, Memory demonstrates that music has
transformed not only what we remember about the cinematic
experience, but also how we relate to memory itself.
