Summary/Abstract: This article aims to reveal the role of political power in the construction of collective identity through the collective memory. Three aspects is seeking to “hook” in the theoretical level: the determined trends of globalised current time, the national state as a homogeneous “imagined” community and cultural heritage as a historical reality and factor of joining together communities. According the theoretical analysis of these three elements is trying to deny the assumption that collective memory and collective identity is only a fiction, an ideologically totalitarian construct and that objectively exist only an individual memory, which is socially constructed only in the individual level.
