In the wake of World War II, the arts and culture of Europe became
a site where the devastating events of the 20th century were
remembered and understood. Exploring one of the most integral
elements of the cinematic experience-music-the essays in this
volume consider the numerous ways in which post-war European cinema
dealt with memory, trauma and nostalgia, showing how the music of
these films shaped the representation of the past. The contributors
consider films from the United Kingdom, Poland, the Soviet Union,
France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Austria, and the Netherlands,
providing a diverse and well-rounded understanding of film music in
the context of historical memory. Memory is often underrepresented
within scholarly musical studies, with most of these applications
found in the disciplines of ethnomusicology, popular music studies,
music cognition, and psychology and music therapy. Likewise, trauma
has mainly been studied in relation to music in only a few
historical contexts, while nostalgia has attracted even less
academic attention. In three parts, this volume addresses each area
of study as it relates to the music of European cinema from 1945 to
1989, applying an interdisciplinary approach to investigate how
films use music to negotiate the precarious relationships we
maintain with the past. Music, Collective Memory, Trauma, and
Nostalgia in European Cinema after the Second World War offers
compelling arguments as to what makes music such a powerful medium
for memory, trauma and nostalgia.
