On Collective Memory
How do we use our mental images of the present to reconstruct our past? Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) addressed this question for the first time in his work on collective memory, which established him as a major figure in the history of sociology. This volume, the first comprehensive English-language translation of Halbwach's writings on the social construction of memory, fills a major gap in the literature on the sociology of knowledge. Halbwachs' primary thesis is that human memory can only function within a collective context. Collective memory, Halbwachs asserts, is always selective; various groups of people have different collective memories, which in turn give rise to different modes o...
The Anthem Companion to Maurice Halbwachs
This book seeks to place Halbwachs in his historical and intellectual context, showing that his work was sensitive to the events of his time, and that the development of his analysis could be influenced by happenstance. The book does this, not by summarizing or synthesizing his thinking, by the growing literature embodied by many sociologists and historians of social sciences, published for the most part in scientific journals, that focus on the sociological thought that Halbwachs developed in his writings. Then come many studies that emerge from the history of ideas and epistemology: these are entirely devoted to a particular facet of Halbwachs’ work, either to place it in its scientific context or to discuss it on the basis of fundamental cognitive issues.

La mémoire collective
Maurice Halbwachs (1877-1945) est mort en déportation sans pouvoir assurer lui-même l'édition de " La Mémoire collective ". Aujourd'hui, cinquante ans après sa parution posthume non conforme au vœu de l'auteur, Gérard Namer, professeur de sociologie à Paris-VII, propose la première édition critique, fidèle au manuscrit autographe, de ce texte désormais devenu un classique. Dépassant la simple nécessité érudite, cette réédition fait redécouvrir l'œuvre dernière du grand sociologue. Inversant la problématique qu'il avait développée en 1925 dans " Les Cadres sociaux ", Halbwachs centre son analyse sur la valeur et l'individu, dans un geste de défi " républicain " à la barbarie qui déchira son époque et à la " corruption " des institutions culturelles qu'entraîne aujourd'hui encore, en cette fin de siècle, la post-modernité. Le lecteur va, enfin, pouvoir lire le testament théorique de celui qui reste l'initiateur de la sociologie de la mémoire.
