What Is a Collective Memory? On the Question of Paul Ricœur’s Interpretation of Memory

Abstract

This study examines the concept of collective memory through an investigation of Paul Ricœur’s interpretation of this concept in his work La mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli . In presenting a critical reading of the analogy Ricœur establishes between collective and personal memory, the author argues that this analogy risks excluding those dimensions of collective memory which cannot be comprehended through such an analogy. The attempt is then made to surmount this diffculty through an analysis of collective memory in relation to its symbolic and metapersonal sources.
