Abstract

The study of collective memory from a psychological perspective is still a burgeoning field, but it nevertheless has made significant advances towards the understanding of how communities build a representation of their shared past. The extant literature is discussed in terms of top down approaches that focus on the representations of historical events, including narrative templates, flashbulb memories, and intergenerational transmission of those. The bottom up approach of building that shared representations via the conversations of the members of the community is offered by emphasizing the role of forgetting as well as remembering.
