Intersection of Individual and Collective Memory in Historiography

Abstract

The starting point of the contribution is the intersection of individual and collective memory in the case of Bela krajina and the events of WW2. It is followed by a presentation and analysis of existing sources used in the MA thesis, as well as their theoretical background. The basic claim of the article is to show the influence of socio-political collectives and society as a whole on the individual, and to indicate the strand or guidelines in historiography which could offer the most thorough answers to the question of the development of social entities.
