Description
Summary:The article focuses on the Italian cinema in building collective memory in post-war transitional phase. It tackles neorealist humanism and descriptive style, together with its obliteration of Fascism. These features contribute to ‘cultural trauma’: a symbolic activity reshaping collective identity.
