社会共同的历史表现形式对于创造、维持和改变一个民族的特性具有重要意义。他们的管理和谈判是种族间和国际关系的核心。我们提出了一个叙事框架，以代表如何集体重大事件成为（选择性）纳入社会表征，使种族，民族和超国家的身份定位。这种观点创造了历时（时间）之间的联系功能（如现实冲突理论），社会身份，和认知的角度对群际关系。这些表征中的宪章使具有相似利益的国家在处理当前事件时采取不同的政治立场，并可能影响社会秩序的稳定性和合法性。它们还有助于确定社会认同战略，以应对消极的社会比较，并能影响民族和族裔认同之间的关系。
Socially shared representations of history have been important in creating, maintaining and changing a people's identity. Their management and negotiation are central to interethnic and international relations. We present a narrative framework to represent how collectively significant events become (selectively) incorporated in social representations that enable positioning of ethnic, national and supranational identities. This perspective creates diachronic (temporal) links between the functional (e.g. realistic conflict theory), social identity, and cognitive perspectives on intergroup relations. The charters embedded in these representations condition nations with similar interests to adopt different political stances in dealing with current events, and can influence the perceived stability and legitimacy of social orders. They are also instrumental in determining social identity strategies for reacting to negative social comparisons, and can influence the relationships between national and ethnic identities.
