Is anyone sure about this Assman thing and knows it's not vandalism or a joke?
- Yep, just google it and you'll find the references all over the internet. It must be either Jan or Aleida Assman from the looks of things, but I don't feel duty bound to include this, given that I'm only trying to find out anything about collective memory as related to feminism and have found this section woefully short!
Jan Assmann is a famous egyptologist, who has also extensively written about memory and rememberance and the establishment of cult and religion.Ver sacrum 08:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know the exact date that Halbwachs coined the term?
I have in my possession a first edition of "La mémoire collective" (Paris, 1950), published posthumously from manuscripts left behind by the author. In a preface by Jeanne Alexandre (the editor, and Halbwachs' sister) there is mention of a text "La Mémoire Collective chez les Musiciens" published in the "Revue Philosophique" in 1939 (n° 3-4). As far as I know this would have been the first usage of the term. But again, that's just as far as I know. Ver sacrum 01:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Anyone know if Nora's contribution about space is available in English, and in which book?
--Yanemiro 11:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
My major interaction with Nora's work in English has come from a special issue of the journal Representations, No. 26, Special Issue: Memory and Counter-Memory, Spring, 1989 entitled "Between Memory and History: Les Lieux de Mémoire." It's accessible online through the JSTOR database.
[edit] How Societies Remember
Given that this article is completely without references, it certainly doesn't need questionable external links, let alone such links that have been spammed to multiple articles. If How Societies Remember can be used as a referece, then let's use it as a reference. Otherwise let's leave it out per WP:EL, WP:SPAM, and WP:NOT#LINK --Ronz (talk) 04:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
