SCHMIDT, Maria Luisa Sandoval  and  MAHFOUD, Miguel. Halbwachs: colective memory and experience. Psicol. USP [online]. 1993, vol.4, n.1-2, pp.285-298. ISSN 1678-5177.

The parpose of the paper is to present some of the fundamental ideas of Maurice Halbwachs on the working of memory. Among the relevant conceptions for Social Psychology we stress: the distirection and the relations between individual memory and collective memory; the concept of the confrontation of witnesses; the tensious and complementariedade between history and collective memory. As an example of the ressonância of these concepts in the field of research in Social Psychology we comment ou some aspect of research carried out in tradutional communities of the Juréia-Itatins Echological Station on the southen coast of São Paulo.

Keywords : Memory; Halbwachs Life experiences; Social psychology; Verbal reports.
