Abstract

When psychology and sociology investigate the role of narratives and
memories in everyday life it is rare that the nation is brought into the
conversation. Even those who do explicitly draw attention to it, are apt to
maintain that it is a construction of a myriad of individual actors who thus
propel the social phenomena in all sorts of new directions at will.
It will be the contention here that while construction is indeed central to
this process, it is a mistake to emphasize the spontaneity of an individual
activity.
