| Abstract | This article by Alon Confino refelects the state of theoretical and methodological debates on the history of collective memory and discusses the state of research. He argues that to write a history of memory, we need to draw the mental horizon of an age. When and why did memory become a habit of mind shared by people to give meaning to the past? |
