Abstract

This article examines the relationship between collective memory and social representations, drawing on key theoretical perspectives and research trends. Initiated by Moscovici in the 1960s, the study of social knowledge explores how individuals make sense of everyday life through socially and culturally situated thinking. Within this framework, memory and social representations are understood as forms of social thought that shape communication, guide practices, and construct a shared reality among group members. Memory is viewed as dynamic and central to shaping collective identity. Foundational theories by Halbwachs and Bartlett continue to inform current studies, integrating social representations as knowledge grounded in shared experiences. Recent research highlights collective narratives, showing how identity and cultural factors influence the transmission and transformation of memories. The article underscores the importance of inter- and intradisciplinary dialogue to better understand how groups remember, forget, and interpret their past to confront present and future societal challenges.

集体记忆与社会表征

本文探讨了集体记忆与社会表征之间的关系，借鉴了主要的理论观点和研究趋势。社会知识研究由莫斯科维奇于20世纪60年代发起，旨在探索个人如何通过社会和文化情境思考来理解日常生活。在这个框架中，记忆和社会表征被理解为社会思想的形式，它们塑造沟通，指导实践，并在群体成员之间构建共享的现实。记忆被认为是动态的，是塑造集体身份的核心。Halbwachs和Bartlett的基础理论继续为当前的研究提供信息，将社会表征整合为基于共享经验的知识。最近的研究强调了集体叙事，展示了身份和文化因素如何影响记忆的传递和转化。这篇文章强调了跨学科和跨学科对话的重要性，以便更好地理解群体如何记住、忘记和解释他们的过去，以面对现在和未来的社会挑战。
