Abstract
A growing literature recognizes social dimension of memories from impersonal and collective perspectives (social memory studies). People remember the past not only as individuals but also as a member of groups. In social memory studies, those groups are frequently understood as generation and culture. This study investigates the impacts of generation and culture separately and combined on memory formation. Parallel groups of young and old populations of Koreans living in Seoul, South Korea and Los Angeles in the U.S. were asked two questions: 1. Could you please name the three events in Korean history over the past 100 years that seem to you especially important? 2. Could you explain why it is important? Eight major events were identified by the subjects. Data analyses of the total 216 respondents provided insights into collective memory construction in terms of the importance of not only generational impacts but also distinct sociohistorical characteristics.
