Collective mental time travel: Remembering the past and imagining the future together [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Bringing research on collective memory together with research on episodic future thought, Szpunar and Szpunar (2015) have recently de- veloped the concept of collective future thought. Individual memory and individual future thought are increasingly seen as two forms of individ- ual mental time travel, and it is natural to see collective memory and collective future thought as forms of collective mental time travel. But how seriously should the notion of collective mental time travel be taken? This article argues that, while it is disanalogous in important respects to individual mental time travel, collective mental time travel nevertheless represents a promising area for future research
