Memories of Covid-19. Terminology and Collective Memory

Summary/Abstract: In this article the aim is to analyse the social representations of the collective memory of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Romanian cultural space and the use of terminology in this context. For this purpose we will use the theoretical framework on collective memory described by Halbwachs (1925, 1950), Bartlett (1932), Assmann&Czaplicka (1995), Haas&Jodelet (1999), Jodelet (2000) and the examples on collective memory presented by Páez&Basabe (1993), Wiesel (1999), von Thadden (1999, 42-45; 2000, 4) and Páez (2007). With regard to the research on collective memory in the context of the pandemic, the works of Taylor (2019), Lefio&Berlagosky&Villarroel (2020, 30-36), Páez (2020), Moreras et al. (2021) and Peschanski (2020) have been taken into account. The starting hypothesis of this article is that the content of collective memory about the Covid-19 pandemic is expressed using Covid-19 terminology. However, the use of terminology to recall passed events lived by a community differs from the use of terminology by experts.
