Abstract

Cette introduction trace les grandes lignes de l’approche analytique sur laquelle s’appuient les articles présentés dans ce numéro spécial. Le projet de développement « générationnant » implique de repenser le développement comme une dynamique clairement générationnelle. Pour cela, nous appliquons une approche relationnelle à l’analyse des jeunes dans le développement, qui permet de surmonter les limites inhérentes aux approches classificatrices communes. Les concepts d’âge et de génération sont mobilisés pour envisager les jeunes comme des acteurs sociaux, et les phases de vie telles que l’enfance et la jeunesse dans une perspective relationnelle. La prise en compte du rôle central des jeunes dans la reproduction sociale les met au cœur des études de développement et conduit les articles présentés dans ce numéro spécial à examiner en quoi la capacité d’action (agency) des jeunes influence et est influencée par les transformations des conditions de reproduction sociale découlant du développement.
