Abstract

Les organisations humanitaires sont aujourd’hui souvent désireuses de faire participer les jeunes déplacés à des initiatives de programmes. Dans ces programmes, l’attention se porte généralement sur l'impact de la dynamique sociale entre les sexes. On semble par contre accorder moins d’attention aux dynamiques liées à l'âge. Cet article explique, à partir de deux perspectives connexes, l'importance d’aborder la question du «rang d’âge» des jeunes réfugiés. Il s’agit, tout d'abord, de comprendre les forces qui conditionnent l'expression des besoins et aspirations particuliers des jeunes et, puis de mieux appréhender l'historicité de leur vie et de celle de l'ensemble des réfugiés. L’article poursuit en proposant un cadre conceptuel pour examiner l’importance du rang d’âge. La notion de «génération» occupe une place centrale dans ce cadre. Nous identifions quatre sens distincts de «génération» et examinons leur application en mobilisant des résultats d’études menées dans un camp de réfugiés palestiniens en Jordanie.
