Generations and Narration
in the History of the Present Time
The history of the present time, the one that studies ‘living’ events, past events that do not pass, finds its definition linked to generations and narration. Each present is lived by three generations: when history studies the present, it narrates a story where at least one of those generations is still alive. In this presentation, we will address these close links between the history of the present, generations, and narration. Links that generate tensions and public debates, which mark this lived and alive history.
