| Abstract | The article discusses the nature of collective memory in relation to the transition from individual memory to the social group. The article describes how collective memory paradigms are difficult to quantify since individual memories are immediately connected to an embodied mind whereas collective memories have little connection to the physical world. The article explores the concrete ways collective memory can be expressed, including the communication of semantic and episodic memory. Details are provided regarding social frameworks, social constructivism, group identity, and multiculturalism.
