Collective Memory from a psychological perspective
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2018Co-Authors: William Hirst, Jeremy K Yamashiro, Alin ComanAbstract:Social scientists have studied Collective Memory for almost a century, but psychological analyses have only recently emerged. Although no singular approach to the psychological study of Collective Memory exists, research has largely: (i) explored the social representations of history, including generational differences; (ii) probed for the underlying cognitive processes leading to the formation of Collective memories, adopting either a top-down or bottom-up approach; and (iii) explored how people live in history and transmit personal memories of historical importance across generations. Here, we discuss these different approaches and highlight commonalities and connections between them.

law and Collective Memory
Social Science Research Network, 2007Co-Authors: Joachim J Savelsberg, Ryan D KingAbstract:Law and Collective Memory are reciprocally associated. Law steers Collective Memory, directly but selectively, as trials produce images of the past through the production and presentation of evidence in ritual practices and public discourse. Law affects Collective Memory indirectly by regulating the production, accessibility, and dissemination of information about the past. Simultaneously, Collective Memory is preserved and activated by carrier groups to inform lawmaking and law enforcement; and memories of past atrocities serve as analogical devices that, under certain conditions, influence law. Such institutionalization of Collective Memory as law partly results from applied commemorations, lawmaking situations that invoke the past. The relevance of the reciprocal relationship between law and Collective Memory is highlighted by the international community's responses to recent atrocities and regime transitions and by its new openness to intervention in national affairs. This article reviews past research and discusses avenues for future work on law and Collective Memory.

towards a psychology of Collective Memory
Memory, 2008Co-Authors: William Hirst, David ManierAbstract:This article discusses the place of psychology within the now voluminous social scientific literature on Collective Memory. Many social scientists locate Collective memories in the social resources that shape them. For scholars adopting this perspective, Collective memories are viewed as transcending individuals; that is, as being "in the world". Others recognise that, in the final analysis, individuals must remember Collective as well as individual memories. These scholars treat Collective memories as shared individual memories. We attempt to bridge these two approaches by distinguishing between the design of social resources and Memory practices, on one hand, and on the other, the effectiveness of each in forming and transforming the memories held by individuals and the psychological mechanisms that guide this effectiveness.

Collective Memory the two cultures
Historical Expertise, 2019Co-Authors: Jeffrey K OlickAbstract:What is Collective about Collective Memory? Two different concepts of Collective Memory compete—one refers to the aggregation of socially framed individual memories and one refers to Collective phenomena sui generis—though the difference is rarely articulated in the literature. This article theorizes the differences and relations between individualist and collectivist understandings of Collective Memory. The former are open to psychological considerations, including neurological and cognitive factors, but neglect technologies of Memory other than the brain and the ways in which cognitive and even neurological patterns are constituted in part by genuinely social processes. The latter emphasize the social and cultural patternings of public and personal Memory, but neglect the ways in which those processes are constituted in part by psychological dynamics. This article advocates, through the example of traumatic events, a strategy of multidimensional rapprochement between individualist and collectivist appro...

Collective Memory and nonpublic opinion a historical note on a methodological controversy about a political problem
Symbolic Interaction, 2007Co-Authors: Jeffrey K OlickAbstract:This article describes a little-known moment in the history of social research, the so-called Group Experiment (Gruppenexperiment) conducted in Germany in 1950–51 by members of the reconstituted Frankfurt school. That research, I argue, provides a missing link in the history of the ideas of deliberative democracy and public discourse, areas of political theory in which the substantive legacies of pragmatism and interactionism are particularly significant. Most important, however, the Gruppenexperiment provides a model for rethinking certain methodological and conceptual problems plaguing contemporary research on Collective Memory, namely, the tendency to reify it.

tradition as Collective Memory a theological task to be tackled
Theological Studies, 2015Co-Authors: Gerald Ocollins, S David J BraithwaiteAbstract:This article gathers and develops some fragmentary suggestions made by theologians and Pope John Paul II about tradition as the Collective Memory of the church. In the light of insights coming from anthropology, history, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and sociology, the article proposes twelve ways for enriching a theology of tradition. Modern Memory studies can unite and clarify various aspects of a theology of tradition, understood as Collective Memory.
