有人认为有必要将文化记忆概念化，不仅将其视为个人心理学的衍生物，而且将其视为在公共纪念行为中构建和重建的“工作记忆”（阿斯曼），并根据独特的文化机制演变。福柯的“稀缺性原理”被用来展示媒体通过选择、汇聚、递归和转移过程产生共享记忆的作用。这种基于媒体的方法强调记忆的沟通、流通和交换方式，使我们能够看到集体身份如何通过纪念实践来（重新）定义，而不仅仅是反映在其中。
An argument is made for the need to conceptualize cultural memory, not as merely derivative of individual psychology, but in terms of a 'working memory' (Assmann) that is constructed and reconstructed in public acts of remembrance and evolves according to distinctly cultural mechanisms. Foucault's 'scarcity principle' is used to show the role of media in generating shared memories through processes of selection, convergence, recursivity and transfer. This media-based approach, emphasizing the way memories are communicated, circulated and exchanged, allows us to see how collective identities may be (re)defined through memorial practices, and not merely reflected in them.
