Abstract

Cultural Memory, a concept and term coined by German Egyptologist Jan Assmann to analyze “the textuality of the past”, can be described as “the individual storage of texts, images and rites that are meant for reuse related to various societies and epochs”. By cultivating this storage, Cultural Memory ensures cultural tradition and “stabilizes its self-image and conveys a collectively shared knowledge.”The recognition of globality is, for each cultural group, linked to the challenge of relating their cultural memory to the global community of solidarity. The continuing revision of cultural identity and belonging serves as a basis for the continuous cultural dynamics between cultural particularism and cosmopolitanism, homogenization, and pluralization. In this regard, cultural education participates in the cultural memory of humanity and obliges it to create the future of globality by being aware of the knowledge of diverse cultural traditions.
