Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Janderson Carneiro de  and  BERTONI, Luci Mara. Collective memory and social representations theory: a theoretical-conceptual confluence. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.2, pp.244-262. ISSN 1983-8220.  https://doi.org/10.36298/gerais2019120205.

This paper aims to present the main theoretical and conceptual aspects of two theories: Collective Memory, a term coined by Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) and Social Representations Theory, developed by the psychologist Serge Moscovici (1928-2014), and how both fields converge, considering the sociological influence of Emile Durkheim (1858-1917). This study brings together theoretical and conceptual elements of Durkheim´s thought, which can broaden the discussion about the connections between the theoretical perspectives presented. Under this epistemological approach, the discussion between Collective Memory and Social Representations Theory has been little emphasized in the scientific productions that have proposed to concatenate the two theories, which brings originality to the present work. It is noticeable the similarity between the anchoring process of Moscovici and the social frames of memory, both of which depend on relational processes for the social construction of daily practices and the ability to theorize social reality.

Keywords : Social Representations; Collective Memory; Social Frames of Memory; Anchoring.
