Indeed, use of the term has extended far beyond scholarship to the realm of politics and journalism, where it has appeared in speeches at the centers of power and on the front pages of the world's leading newspapers. Seen by scholars in numerous fields as a hallmark characteristic of our age, an idea crucial for understanding our present social, political, and cultural conditions, collective memory now guides inquiries into diverse, though connected, phenomena. Nevertheless, there remains a great deal of confusion about the meaning, origin, and implication of the term and the field of inquiry it underwrites. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Collective Memory Reader \u003c\/em\u003epresents, organizes, and evaluates past work and contemporary contributions on collective memory.
