collective memory
Collective memory is the shared recollection of a group or society about specific events, traditions, customs, or experiences that define their identity and shape their collective consciousness. It is formed through the accumulation of individual memories that are passed down, preserved, and transmitted through various mediums such as stories, rituals, commemorations, and cultural artifacts. Collective memory often plays a crucial role in shaping group cohesion, identity formation, and cultural continuity.
