'Transmissions of Memory' 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.

It 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.
