Dynamic memories of the collective past
| Abstract |
In this paper, I first retrace some aspects of a dynamic theory of
humans in society, and then highlight what appear to me as major
contributions of two papers of this special issue. This leads me to
highlight a series of questions, which I address through two other
consonant studies on remembering, the work of Harald Welzer and his
team on the memory of WWII in three generations in German families,
and the study by Steve Brown and Paula Reavey on people’s remembering of the London bombings |
