Talk:Collective memory

message: 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: It appears this article has been in this poor state for at least 2 years. Once I can get some more time and the literature in English on my hands, I will support any attempt at preparing a well-referenced article. 95.157.3.4 (talk) 22:34, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: How Societies Remember

message: While Halbwachs is widely credited for coining the term, a quick Google news search beginning in 1800 turns up some interesting results. That is, Halbwachs was by no means the first to use the term. There is a new Collective Memory reader on its way from Jeffry Olick (and co eds), via Oxford Press, that will provide more detail and history. If CM is of interest, keep an eye out for the book, you'll want it. Here's something that might be worth looking at in the meantime: http://esa.abstractbook.net/abstract.php?aID=4933

thread_title:  History of the term 

message: Does anyone else feel that the inclusion of references to this novel is unnecessary and detracts from the description of the concept as a focus of social science?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.252.65.226 (talk) 20:42, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You're quite right, and it's shocking that nearly a decade has gone by with nothing being done about it. I have removed the reference to the novel from the article. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:15, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Celestine Prophecy? 

message: I found that this section was kind of awkwardly written, with very repetitive examples of media representations. I skimmed through to try and correct minor grammatical errors throughout this section, but it seems as if it may have been translated or just written as the author thought of examples. Overall it could also use more citations, and perhaps a more thorough rewrite, especially if someone has more academic writing on this topic. -  AqilHC (talk) 05:51, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The term historical memory is currently bumping to this entry, but it seems to me that this is actually a different term. If it is going to be sent to this entry there should at least be a subsection talking about this term and how it is both similar and different.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sara.koopman (talk • contribs) 20:25, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
