A hálózatok emlékezetei, az emlékezetek hálózatai

The present paper aims to tentatively raise a number of issues regarding the complex relationship between collective memory and the internet, more specifically Web 2.0. First, i briefly demonstrate how the metaphors of the internet and of collective memory have shaped our understanding of the two topics, and i look at the possible interfaces between them. Then, capitalizing upon the metaphor of network, the most prevalent one of such ♭interfaces', the paper seeks to explore the insights it can offer in relation with collective memories in the age of social media. Finally, i use the example of the late kádár-era and its online memory to illuminate a few theoretical consequences of imagining contemporary online memory communities as networks.
