A Dialogic Approach to Collective Memory

We invite researchers to submit papers discussing, from a discursive point of view, the diverse ways the past can be understood as a dialogical construction to serve different aims in society. This includes the study of collective and cultural memory, the study of historical consciousness and critical thinking, and other various and varied configurations of collectiveness from a discursive approach. What are the collective structures of memory that build the contemporary (re)arrangement of social groups? Are there textual forms other than narrative that realize collective memory? How do new technologies influence the way people interact with the past? How does grand time alter the collective resources and devices of building memory? These are some of the questions this thematic issue aims to answer.
