Description
Film has shaped modern society by changing its cultures of memory. This change is largely due to the mnemonic powers of music in film soundtracks.
Berthold Hoeckner explores how music influences this new culture of memory through three key processes: storage, retrieval, and affect. He examines films that reflect on memory, including those featuring amnesic characters, traumatic events, or nostalgia.
The relationship between music and memory is complex, with films recalling their own history through quotations, remakes, and stories about the impact of cinema on people's lives. Hoeckner's analysis reveals how music has transformed not only what we remember about film, but also how we relate to memory itself.
