Considering both retrospective memories and the prospective
employment of memories, Memory in a Mediated World examines
troubled times that demand resolution, recovery and restoration.
Its contributions provide empirically grounded analyses of how
media are employed by individuals and social groups to connect the
past, the present and the future.
Transmissions of Memory: Echoes, Traumas and Nostalgia in
Post-World War II Italian Culture discusses cultural
products-films, poetry, fiction, architectural buildings,
autobiographical writing, and social media-to individuate through
them the dynamics of memory. The field of analysis is Italian
culture from World War II to the contemporary times, and the volume
has in a gendered approach one of its focuses, offering an
encompassing view on cultural memory and highlighting the
similarities between gendered revisitation and revisitation of the
past. The volume is divided into three sections: cultural
transmissions, fractured memories, and nostalgia. In the chapters
herewith the study of memory through these forms hints at a sense
of transformation and often enrichment or resilience, individual or
collective, that values more the present and the future rather than
the past.
