One of the most important problem of both social and scientific discourses in the late XX -early XXIcenturiesis the topic of collective memory. Reconstructionand returnto the society’s past in conjunction withthe break withtradition led the science to the so-called "memory boom". One of the most significant and controversialissues in this context concerns the specificof the social memory of young people.This problem is really widely spread in the modernscientific community. Despite this fact, at thatmoment the theory of social memory of young people remains insufficiently developed. Consequently, the construction of a conceptual model as well as thechoice and scientific justificationof the relevant methodological approach to the study of collective memory of youth are of fundamental importance.

In response to the essays by Bauckham, Byrskog, Schröter, and Zimmermann concerning “memory”, Le Donne summarizes and critiques four different applications of mnemonic studies to the Jesus tradition. The author notes the different approaches to sociology relative to memory and argues that both autobiographical memory and collective memory fall under the wider category of social memory. Moreover, contra Bauckham social memory is helpful avenue of study for historical Jesus research once properly understood. Contra Schröter, he argues that the study of the social components of autobiographical memory ought to play a part in scholarship concerning the Gospels. He also challenges the false dichotomy between the “remembered Jesus” and the “historical Jesus” as posed by Zimmermann.

This essay seeks to illuminate a different, more encompassing kind of transition than that from dictatorship to post-dictatorship (and its attendant forms of memory of military brutal force and human rights abuses) often privileged by studies of political violence and social memory. The focus is twofold: first, to describe a transition from the world of the social to that of the post-social, i.e. a transition from a welfare state-centered form of the nation to its neoliberal competitive state counterpart; and secondly, to analyze its attendant memory dynamics. The double articulation of collective memory under neoliberalism, the deep and recurring violence it has involved at both the social and the individual level, and its self-articulation as a social memory apparatus are apparent in two Chilean films exploring the logic (Pablo Larraín’s Tony Manero) and the history (Patricio Guzmán’s Nostalgia de la luz) of the implementation of this neoliberal memory apparatus in Chile. Este trabajo intenta iluminar una transición más amplia que aquella entre dictadura y post-dictadura ( y sus correspondientes formas de memoria sobre la violencia militar o los abusos a los derechos humanos) que suele ser el objeto de estudio de los trabajos sobre violencia política y memoria social. Mi interés es doble: primero, describir una transición del mundo social al post-social (es decir, una transición desde una forma de estado-nación centrada en el estado de bienestar a su contraparte neoliberal y competitiva; y en segundo lugar, analizar sus correspondientes formas de memoria. La doble articulación de la memoria colectiva bajo el neoliberalismo, la profunda y recurrente violencia presente, tanto a nivel social como a nivel individual, y su autoarticulación como un aparato de la memoria social son evidentes en las dos películas chilenas Tony Manero de Pablo Larraín y Nostalgia de la luz de Patricio Guzmán que exploran la lógica y la historia de la implementación de este aparato de la memoria neoliberal en Chile.

The article describes the possibility of storing and reconstructing collective memory in the text of the preamble to the Constitution. The source material, which was analyzed, was the introduction to the currently binding constitution of the Republic of Poland. The aim of the study was to identify and describe fragments of the preamble, having a real potential of influence on shaping the social memory of the community. The methodology of cultural memory, proposed by Aleida and Jan Assmann, became a methodological basis for the conducted observation, with particular emphasis on the assumptions about the figures of memory, that is facts or objects, recalling memories or imaginations about memories.

The article analyzes the processes taking place in the youth environment in the context of digitalization of society. The role of social networks is discussed. Since its inception, network analysis has been formed as an interdisciplinary direction in which psychologists, sociologists, communication specialists, anthropologists, mathematicians and statisticians combine their efforts. The social network as a way of organizing social knowledge requires a special methodological approach, different from the traditional methods of analyzing sociological information. “Digital habits” significantly affect the behavior of young people, change the “traditional” way of life. The article is of interest to specialists dealing with problems of sociology of youth, sociology of global processes, methodology of sociological research.

El presente trabajo tiene como principal objetivo reflexionar sobre el papel de la escue­la en los ejercicios de reparación de afectaciones acaecidas en el marco del conflicto armado en Colombia. Para dicha tarea, resulta importante reconocer que hace aproximadamente tres décadas las Ciencias Sociales asisten al crecimiento exponencial de trabajos que sitúan la memoria como elemento sustancial en la comprensión del pasado y su incidencia en los discursos sociales, polí­ticos, culturales y normativos del presente, frente a los cuales la escuela no es indiferente, pues se encuentra en un lugar privilegiado para la producción y reproducción de discursos relacionados con los ejercicios de memoria. En este sentido, se acude metodológicamente al orden cualitativo de revisión bibliográfica, enfatizada en la localización y recuperación de información para construir reflexiones desde la óptica de la pedagogía de la memoria, que, más que conclusiones, se conciben como abrebocas ante la mirada multidisciplinar con la que es necesario asumir los retos del reco­nocimiento de las diversas formas de reparar en la escuela.Palabras clave: memoria social, conflicto armado, escuela, reparación. ABSTRACTSocial memory agency in the Colombian school as a reparation mechanism The aim of this article is to reflect on the role of the school in the exercises for making amends that have occurred in the context of the armed conflict in Colombia. For this task, it is important to recognize that approximately three decades ago Social Sciences attended the exponential growth of works that place the memory as a substantial element in the understanding of the past and its incidence in the social, political, cultural and normative discourses of the present, in which the school is not indifferent, because it is on a privileged place for the production and reproduction of discourses related to memory exer­cises. In this sense, a methodological approach is done tothe qualitative order of bibliographic review, emphasized in the location and retrieval of information, to build reflections from the perspective of the pedagogy of memory, which, more than conclusions, are conceived as an appetizer before the multidisciplinary view that is necessary to assume the challenges of the recognition of the diverse forms to make amend for the school.Keywords: social memory, armed conflict, school, to make amend for.

The task of reforming and improving the social and humanitarian component of modern education is related to the understanding of time as an existential experience associated with the phenomenon of age. According to the theory of generations of N. Howe and W. Strauss, age is defined as a measure of awareness of one's own living life. It is a methodological approach of this study. The generations of Y and Z are the subject of special attention in the study being the group that actually forms the requests for the educational policy of the state. Considerable attention is paid to the formation of skills and culture of conducting scientific dialogue in the student environment (the development of certain norms of behavior, the adoption of the normative requirements for scientific dialogue, the assimilation of various formats for discussions, projective activities, etc.).

AbstractThe idea of collective or social memory is explored in this paper as a way to understand ancient Maya ritual behavior. The theoretical characteristics of collective memory are defined and a strategy to operationalize the theory of collective memory using archaeological remains is presented. Two archaeological examples from the sites of Minanha and Zubin in west central Belize are discussed in terms of how they fit this new model. Finally, the social motivations that underlie this behavior are examined.

AbstractThis paper utilizes anthropological and sociological approaches to social memory to analyze the position and relevance of sacred sites among the Jakaltek Maya of the western highlands of Guatemala. Based on archaeological investigations and oral history, the connection between the past and present is analyzed in terms of collective memory, underscoring the importance of specific places and landscape in remembering as well as in reinforcing Jakaltek identity and history. Three distinct sacred sites are discussed, including their archaeological evidence; position (or lack of) in histories; disposition/creation as sacred site; and ties to the community's social memory. Sacred sites and social memory are viewed as a key component of indigenous activism and identity politics as well as an integral aspect to understanding the social context of archaeology in the Guatemalan Maya Highlands.

AbstractScholars encountering the monolithic sculptures of the Gulf lowland Olmec since the early twentieth century have frequently employed the term “monument” to describe these works. Often the word has been applied in reference to the formal qualities of the sculptures as well as to their antiquity. The function of monuments as sites of public remembering, however, has never been fully explored in relation to these works. This article discusses the evidence for, and implications of, viewing certain Olmec sculptures as public monuments intended to generate, transform, and erase the social memory of Olmec populations. Case studies of sculptural contexts suggest that such monuments were subject to diachronic transpositions and transformations in order to affect shifts in the collective memory over time. They remain as physical testaments to the maneuverings of Olmec elites within complex and ever-changing power relations that relied on the process of memory-making as part of the political stratagem.
