Generations: The Time Machine in Theory and Practice challenges the
fragmented and diverse use of the concept of generation commonly
found in the social sciences. It approaches the concept in a manner
that stretches the sociological imagination away from its
orientation toward the present by building the concept of the
passage of time into our understanding of the social. It proposes
an innovative and exciting view of the field of generations,
lifting it out from life course and cohort analysis, and
reconstituting the area with fresh and dynamic ways of seeing. With
its unique, intellectually innovative and sustained critical study
of generational work, Generations will appeal to scholars across a
range of social sciences and humanities, and will be of particular
interest to social theorists and anthropologists, as well as
sociologists of social history, consumption, identity and culture.
