Collective memory is a term coined by the philosopher and sociologist Maurice Halbwachs (11 March 1877 - 16 March 1945), separating the notion from the individual memory. The collective memory is shared, passed on and also constructed by the group, or modern society. The debate was taken up by Jan Assmann, who wrote Das kulturelle Gedächtnis (The Cultural Memory). Assmann distinguishes between the Cultural memory and the Communicative memory, whereas the former fulfills a storage function and the latter the function of an everyday memory that is situated in the present. Scholars such as Paul Connerton have extended the concept to include the human body as a site for the collective processes of retention and propagation of memory. Pierre Nora's contributions to the role of place and spaces of shared memory (the "lieux de memoire" that we all inhabit) are also significant.
