Between Individual and Collective Memory: Coordination, Interaction, Distribution

---

Human memory in the wild often involves multiple forms of remembering at once, as habitual, affective,
personal, factual, shared, and institutional memories operate at once within and across individuals and small groups.
The interdisciplinary study of the ways in which history animates dynamical systems at many different timescales
requires a multidimensional framework in which to analyse a broad range of social memory phenomena. Certain features of personal memory – its development, its constructive nature, and its role in temporally extended agency – make it apt for various forms of integration into larger socio-cognitive systems. Drawing on ideas from psychology, distributed cognition, and social theory, this paper aims to make conceptual space for a naturalistic ontology of collective memory.
