ABSTRACT
How are relations between generations shifting? As anthropologists, our take on inter-generational relations and the rationalities on which they are based–i.e., generationality–is historically situated. In many parts of the world, generation has become a major axis of social and political struggle, sometimes of bitter conflict. This, we argue, is a corollary of post-Cold War transformations in economy and society–and a radical rupture in processes of social reproduction. These transformations have conduced to the perception of a rising ‘generation war.’ How, then, in these circumstances, are we to think anew of inter-generational relations–and justice?
