The book Music, Trauma and Nostalgia in European cinema after World War II was published.

According to MUSIQI MA News-Analysis site, the book “Music, Collective Memory, Impulse (Trauma) and Nostalgia in European Cinema after World War II by a group of authors published in 2020 by Routledge Publishing has been translated and published by the Iranian Youth Cinema Association.
A commentary on the book states: “this book is a text about post-World War II Europe and argues that film music is a powerful tool for developing the memory of the emotional crisis and grief of lost days. For this purpose, there is a collection of articles on important and decisive films such as Bitter Rice (Giuseppe De Santis, 1949), Cancan‎ French (Jean Renoir 1956), Last Year in Marienbad (Alain Resnais, 1960), the Rules of the Game (Jean Renoir 1939), Nostalgia (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1983) and the Ascent (Larisa Shepitko, 1977).
Accordingly, on the eve of World War II, European arts and culture became involved in the events of the twentieth century. Using music, the book finally addresses the profound problems facing European society, such as disturbed memory, emotional crises and the sadness of the good old days, and claims that the film’s music represents the past. The authors of these articles are from the United Kingdom, Poland, the Soviet Union, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Austria, and the Netherlands, who provide a comprehensive understanding of the diversity of music in the context of historical memory.
This book was published with the parts “Collective Memory and (Trans) Nation”, “Impulse and Survival” and “Nostalgia, and Impossible to Return Home”. “Ghosts of Italian Opera, Cultural Memory in Italian and West German Films”, “A Bridge Too Far? Music in British War Films”, “Empathy, Morality and Film Music by Alfred Schnittke and the Ascent by Larisa Shepitko”, “Impulse Echoes: Audio Flashbacks in Films by Jan Troell”, and “the Disintegration of Heroism: Rolf Wilhelm’s Music for Marsch Radetzky” are a number of articles published in this book.
