Description:Social Thinking and History demonstrates that our representations of history are constructed through complex psychosocial processes, in interaction with multiple others, and that they evolve throughout our lifetime, playing an important role in our relation to our social environment.Building on the literatures on social thinking, collective memory, and sociocultural psychology, this book proposes a new perspective on how we understand and use our collective past. It focuses on how we actively think about history to construct representations of the world within which we live and how we learn to challenge or appropriate the stories we have heard about the past. Through the analysis of three studies of how history is understood and represented in different contexts - in political discourses in France, by intellectuals and artists in Belgium, and when discussing a current event in Poland - its aim is to offer a rich picture of our representations the past and the role they play in everyday life.This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of psychology, memory studies, sociology, political science and history.
