Historical memory Berta Trallero, Ree Luddy, Maya Mancini, Laura Vergara 1. Definition of the concept Historical memory refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of past events held by a group or society. This memory shapes identity, influences perceptions of the present, and informs future actions. It can be shaped by education, media, and personal experiences, often highlighting certain events while obscuring others, leading to diverse and sometimes conflicting interpretations within different communities. 4.Three examples (Berta, Ree and Maya) --> The concentration camps of Germany are a significant historical memory because, they honor the millions who suffered and died during the Holocaust, preserving their experiences and stories. The camps influence art and literature, shaping narratives around trauma and resilience. --> The first woman to vote in history. Her name was Louisa Ann Swain, who cast her ballot in 1870 in Wyoming, USA. Wyoming was the first territory to grant women the right to vote, making it a landmark event in the women's suffrage movement. --> cultural identity for development, understanding history as a holistic process Collective identity Definition in your own words Collective identity is a person's sense of belonging to a group. The identity of the group becomes a part of the person's individual identity. By joining social activities, a person can feel like they belong to a group and build an identity that is bigger than just themselves. Members feel a connection to the group and to each other and the group shares similar beliefs, goals, or experiences. Examples 1. Feeling of belonging One of the most important characteristics of collective identity is the feeling of belonging that the members of a group share. This feeling is based on the idea that being part of that group is an essential part of one's identity and largely defines who we are. It can be manifested through identification with symbols, traditions, shared values or even in the defense of common interests. 2. Sharing a common story Another key characteristic of collective identity is the idea of sharing a common story. Members of a group often identify with each other through the collective memory of significant events, achievements, or shared struggles that have marked the group's history. This shared narrative becomes a central element of group identity and contributes to strengthening the sense of cohesion and solidarity among its members. 3. Shared norms and values Collective identity is also supported by the presence of shared norms and values that guide behavior and interactions within the group. These norms may vary depending on the culture, religion or traditions of the group in question, but in general, they provide a common frame of reference that guides individual behavior and fosters social cohesion. 4. Sense of positive identity Collective identity is usually associated with a sense of positive identity, in which group members feel proud of their belonging and value the characteristics they share with other members. This feeling of pride and belonging can strengthen individual self-esteem and promote collaboration and mutual support within the group. 5. Construction of the image of the other Collective identity also involves the construction of the image of the other, that is, the perception that a group has of itself in contrast to other groups or communities. This dynamic can lead to the creation of stereotypes, prejudices or intergroup rivalries, but it can also be a source of identification and cohesion by highlighting the similarities and differences between groups.

Collective Identity - Knowledge and References | Taylor & Francis. https://taylorandfrancis.com/knowledg e/medicine-and- healthcare/psychiatry/collective- identity/ Definition Collective identity refers to the multidimensional and multilayered nature of shared identity within a specific group or community. It encompasses cognitive, emotional, and moral dimensions, and can vary in its form and type. It is characterized by a strong sense of belonging, distinct boundaries between 'us' and 'them', and a shared perception of moral virtue. Collective identity can exist at different levels, such as community, movement, and organization, and may interact and combine in complex ways. It is essential for understanding the dynamics and functioning of social groups. The present article delineates the complex structure of collective identity by incorporating two levels of analysis. The first, the micro level, pertains to individual society members’ recognition of and categorization as belonging to a group, with the accompanying cognitive, emotional, and behavioral consequences. The second, the macro level, pertains to the notion of collective identity that denotes the shared awareness by constituents of a society of being members of a collective Definition Collective identity refers to the shared sense of belonging and connection that arises from a group's common interests, experiences, and solidarities. Heritage conservation / preservation 1. Definition of the concept Preservation of cultural properties, historic preservation is an effort to preserve, and protect historically important building, objects, landscapes or other artifacts. 2.

Definition in your own words: We could define heritage conservation, as the purpose of maintening the historical/cultural/ architectonic legacy, in order to prevent the deterioration. The goal of conservation is to manage change in a way that minimizes damage while keeping the heritage asset functional By the other hand heritage preservation is the protection of the historical/cultural/ architectonic legacy, from any form of destruction, or significant change. Preservation means to keep the heritage as it is. 4. At least three examples/cases studies. 1. Catalan Music palace and Sant Pau Hospital Extensive preservation efforts have been made to protect its original design and decorations. The goal has been to maintain its authentic materials and style, ensuring that future generations experience the building as it was originally conceived. Changes are minimized to avoid altering its historic character. 2. The Great Wall of China: The existing elements of the Great Wall retain their original location, material, form, technology and structure. The original layout and composition of various constituents of the Great Wall defence system are maintained, to form a meandering landscape feature, and the military concepts it embodies have all been authentically preserved. The authenticity of the setting of the Great Wall is vulnerable to construction of inappropriate tourism facilities. 3. The Colosseum The Colosseum is not just a monument to ancient Rome but also a symbol of heritage preservation worldwide. It represents the importance of maintaining and protecting historical sites for future generations. Modern preservation efforts focus on protecting the structure from further damage while keeping its historical integrity intact. Berta - Tomas - Melero - Gyuri Cultural tourism 1.Definition of the concept Cultural tourism refers to travel that focuses on experiencing the cultural aspects of a destination. Cultural tourism aims to deepen understanding and appreciation of a place's heritage and identity.

Minority Cultural Tourism in Yunnan, China: Yunnan Province is famous for its rich minority cultures, attracting many tourists. Visitors can experience the local minority lifestyle, participate in traditional festivals, and learn about Yunnan’s unique customs and traditions. This type of cultural tourism not only promotes local economic development but also fosters cultural preservation (Su & Wall, 2009). 3.Chengdu, with a history of over 3,000 years, is a key cultural hub in China, rich in historical sites that reflect its significance. One notable landmark is Du Fu Thatched Cottage, the former residence of Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu, where visitors can experience traditional Chinese architecture and appreciate his literary contributions (Wang, 2018). Another important site is Wuhou Temple, dedicated to Zhuge Liang, the renowned prime minister of the Shu Han kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, symbolizing the city's deep connection to this era (Li, 2020). These sites, along with others like the Jinsha Site Museum, showcase Chengdu's vibrant cultural and historical heritage. APA Citations: Richards, G. (2018).
