Social memory refers to the set of representations, practices, and performances that constitute a collective interpretation of the past. Social memory, whether it is being used discursively in the construction of reality or strategically to gain access to resources, is at the core of being human. Studies of social memory describe the connection of memory to power and its use by the nation‐state; the role of trauma and nostalgia in recollecting or forgetting; and the embodiment or commodification of experiences from the past. Scholars are beginning to take into account the interactions between minds, machines, and various forms of material culture
