(de)Scribe the world together

A number of events organised by Particip-Arc revolve around the question of how, and why, a collective memory can be produced in a given area. This question concerns the memory of a group, or, more precisely, a certain number of actors linked by a common point, and the possibility that their collective memory can be written. But what mechanisms (not necessarily technical) enable a group, as a de facto community, to express something that recounts their collective truth (different from the sum of individual truths), including contradictory truths, conflicting memories or personal positions that may be heterogeneous?
