John,
hi - i'm sorry, i can't for the life of me remember the article.
all i can recall is part of the title, "collective memory," and it
referred to work i was doing on the 'nature' of knowledge and belief and
memory and "truths" ... it was written by a woman, of course (aha ha ha)
and published in the early 1990s, but that's about all i remember.
wish i could be more help.
it was an article about education, so i'd reckon it's in the ERIC
database,
- i hope you can find it.
