"Generation" has become a central concept of cultural, historical
and social studies. This book analyses how this concept is
currently used and how it relates to memory and constructions of
historical meaning from educational, historical, legal and
political perspectives. Attempts to compare different national
generations or to elaborate boundary-crossing, transnational
generations still constitute an exception. In trying to fill this
gap, this collection of essays concentrates on one crucial moment
of "the age of extremes" and on one specific generation: the year
1945 and its progressive politicians and intellectuals. Focusing on
Italy, West Germany and France, it suggests that the concept of
generation should be regarded as an open question in space and
time. Therefore, this volume asks what role generation played in
the intellectual and political debates of 1945: if it facilitated
change, if it served as source of solidarity and cohesion and how
post-war societies organized their time.
