Collective Memory
“in the telling and retelling the stories of our past, the events in question become stereotyped and selectively distorted as they become embedded in our collective memory.” Arthur Neal
The event is gradually filtered and details are forgotten. The significance of the collective memory lies in the event’s meaning not in the accuracy of the memory.
