Contested Memory: Bromberg 1939
Contested Memory: Bromberg 1939
Abstract
“This is a study of selective cultural preservation”, wrote Lewis E. Coser in his introduction to Maurice Halbwachs’ book On Collective Memory. Coser pointed to the “cultural” aspect, because indeed Halbwachs dedicated most of his study to collective memory rather than just personal memory. Although collective memory cannot serve as a substitute for our personal memory, it takes precedence over it because the individual needs an external structure for their personal memory.
