The field of memory studies has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly in the analysis of collective remembrance in post-conflict societies. This paper explores the interplay between memory practices and collective identity formation in societies that have undergone significant upheaval and conflict. By examining various case studies, it highlights the complexities involved in shaping a shared narrative of the past and the challenges faced in reconciling divergent perspectives. The emphasis is placed on understanding the role of memory in social healing, peacebuilding, and the construction of a new national or collective identity. The paper argues that while memory studies offer valuable insights into the dynamics of collective remembrance, they must also be approached with caution, given the subjective nature of memory and its potential to both unite and divide. Through an interdisciplinary lens that incorporates historical, sociological, and psychological perspectives, this paper contributes to a broader understanding of the multifaceted role of memory in post-conflict societies.
