![]() We end this part with a relevant example: that is, defining functions of social representations of history in intergroup conflict. We also describe the basic processes that determine formation of social representations of history. Next, we explain how collective memory serves social identity, describing its possible functions for a group. First, we define collective memory and its contents. ![]() In the first part, we review a conceptual framework for the understanding of processes involved in the emergence of social representations of history. The aim of this chapter is to define collective memory (CM) and social representations of history (SRH) and review existing literature and empirical research on these topics. LoMonaco et al (Eds.).Representations Sociales. In the particular context of the Brussels bombings, social identification with Brussels and Europe correlated with measures of flashbulb memory while social identification with Belgium did not.Įxpanded English version of a short chapter that will appear in French at in G. We also measured participants’ identification at three levels: local (Brussels) – national (Belgium) – supranational (Europe). Our results show a relatively high consistency over time as well as high vividness and confidence for their memory of the reception context. Retest data was obtained fifteen months later, through an in-depth interview. Within a few hours after the terrorist attacks in Brussels in March 2016, a small sample of students completed a questionnaire on the way they learnt about the event and their knowledge of it. Our second aim was to capitalise on the particular case-study that is Belgium to examine social identification. Our first aim was to evaluate the consistency of flashbulb memories as accurately as possible (by collecting data on the day and using an interview method at retest) and contrast these findings with other operationalisations such as vividness or confidence but also with event memory. Flashbulb memories are consistent and vivid representations of the way people learnt of an important, surprising and consequential event.
