History of the term

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 --Jonashart (talk) 04:55, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Celestine Prophecy?

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Collective memory in mass media

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). I have just added a description of the theoretical argument I present on collective memory and the mass media in my recent book Collective Memory and the Historical Past and I hope that this will help. ----–––Jeffrey Andrew Barash[reply]

historical memory

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)[reply]
