Abstract

When we speak of nostalgia, we allude the emotive and sensitive part of the subjects, but necessarily it is also associated with memories, reminiscence, and memory. However, it is not only about the evocations we have personal or individually but also about the collective memories and experiences that groups share. In this article, we review several the oretical approaches that consider collective memory is fulfillingan elementary role fo runderstanding the identities reconstructed in the present. Some authors affirm that societies value memory more when identitiesenterinto crisis. Like wise, it is exposed that one of the consequences of the massification of popular culture, through the media and the entertainment industry, was the gestation of a collective memory of media type. Its a esthetic rescue, by generational groups, -regardles s of its commercial re-exploitation- is also serving as a socio-cultural referent to recognize the past of the subjects, create their own version of history and reflect on the present.
