abstract = "The relationship between memory and the state is fundamental to collective memory study (Hobsbawm and Ranger 1983; Smith 1987; Gillis 1994; Spillman 1997; Olick 2003). The dominant approach to this relationship has been “instrumentalism” which regards memory as an ideological tool for the nation-state to legitimize itself, especially when an old ideology is fading or when a new nation-state is being built (Hobsbawm and Ranger 1983; Zerubavel 1995). When applied to totalitarian and authoritarian societies in the twentieth century, this view is incarnated in two theoretical approaches.",
