This chapter aims to articulate a Dialectical Approach to Collective Remembering, arising from the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary literature that has been reviewed. Some of this research is quantitative and nomothetic, but more of it is qualitative and idiographic. Some of the research originates in a bottom-up, individual-centered approach, and some originates in a top-down, societal approach. Given the diversity of the phenomena investigated under the rubric of collective memory, it does not make sense for me to develop theory in the traditional sense of theory in psychology, a discipline dominated by natural science epistemology. Rather, I prefer to develop an approach that satisfies some of the requirements of natural science epistemology, but through working in an open system. A dialectical approach to collective remembering recognizes that the object of study (collective memory) functions as a dynamic that is most powerfully conceived as containing in its current manifestation, seeds that cannot be fully grasped in the here and now, but may form part of reality in the future. It invites dialogue rather than seeking closure.
