COLLECTIVE MEMORY OF THE PAST AND NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EXPERIENCE OF MONUMENTAL COMMEMORATION
Based on the scientific concepts of M. Halbwachs, J. Assman, A. Assman, J. De Vaux and others, the authors of the article made an attempt to comprehend the concept of “collective memory” in the discourse of interdisciplinary research, to determine its role in shaping the monumental policy of the state and culture commemorations. The study showed that society always actively conceptualizes works of monumental art. Monuments in modern urban space have a stabilizing function, including in the context of the global risks of the modern world. At the mental level of a particular person, the work of artifacts is one of the psychological factors that enables a person to find an internal foothold, gain confidence in a situation of psychological uncertainty.
