Circulation, internationalization, globalization of the question of memory
Résumé
The connotations linked to the notion of memory - when it is defined as collective or social- have only recently emerged. "Memory" is a mostly polysemic concept in social sciences. It also represents a social phenomenon. If the discourse surrounding memory seems to be largely internationalised, it has come at the cost of discrepancies in temporalities, theoretical traditions and objects of history. A general synthesis would be improbable. Today it appears that three big problematical concepts co-exist, from French literature but largely exported: the "realms of memory" (Pierre Nora), the "work of recollection" (Paul Ricoeur), the "frameworks of memory" (Maurice Halbwachs).
