Description
he Collective Memory by Maurice Halbwachs explores the concept of collective memory, examining how groups of people remember and interpret the past. Halbwachs argues that memory is not just an individual experience but is shaped by social contexts and collective practices. In the book, Halbwachs discusses how collective memories are constructed through social interactions, shared experiences, and cultural norms. He examines the role of social frameworks in shaping what is remembered, how memories are transmitted, and how they influence group identity and cohesion. By analyzing various social settings, such as families, communities, and nations, Halbwachs highlights the ways in which collective memory functions to reinforce or challenge social structures. The book provides foundational insights into how memory operates within social groups and its significance for understanding historical consciousness and identity.
