Le nuove generazioni nella crisi italiana: alcuni contributi sociologici

Abstract

This contribute discusses some comparative researches on the different "generational experiences" in Italy between the economic miracle and the current crisis, shedding light on the usefulness and the limits of “generation” as a historical category. While generation represents a useful point of view from which to look at the social change within a wide context pervaded by multiple social forces, it becomes a rather narrow and misleading concept when considered as an isolated source of social identity
