Collective memories serve similar functions to autobiographical memories

Ryan Burnell et al.

Summary: People share collective memories, which are culturally-shaped memories about important events from their country's history. However, the functions of these memories have not been systematically examined. This study found evidence that collective memories serve important directive, identity, and social functions for the collective, similar to how autobiographical memories serve individuals.

Collective memory and autobiographical memory: Perspectives from the humanities and cognitive sciences

Lucrece Heux et al.

Summary: This article provides an interdisciplinary synthesis of autobiographical and collective memory studies, focusing on history and cognitive psychology, in order to bridge the disciplinary gap. It describes the different interpretative frameworks used to build theoretical knowledge on the interconnection between autobiographical memory and collective memory. By examining the self, social, and directive functions of autobiographical memory, the article highlights their correlation with the social identity, social schemata, and means for actions in collective memory research, serving as a political decision tool. The aim is to stimulate opportunities for more interdisciplinary research.
