The concept of 'generations' has become a widely discussed area, with recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic revealing our dependence on intergenerational relationships both within and beyond the family. However, the concept can often be misunderstood, which can fuel divisions between age groups rather than generating solutions. This collection introduces and explores the growing field of generational studies, providing a comprehensive overview of its strengths and limitations. With contributions from academics across a range of disciplines, the book showcases the concept's interdisciplinary potential by applying a generational lens to fields including sociology, literature, history, psychology, media studies and politics. Offering fresh perspectives, this original collection is a valuable addition to the field, opening new avenues for generational thinking.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Marriage & FamilybisacshSOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / Marriage & Family.Amigoni David, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbBristow Jennie, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbBristow Jennie, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBuklijas Tatjana, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbHall Matthew, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbKing Andrew, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbKingstone Helen, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbKingstone Helen, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLittle Ben, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbRuspini Elisabetta, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbSomers Ali, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbWilliams Nigel, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbWinch Alison, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910799701003321Studying Generations4147746UNINA
