Résumé anglais René Galissot, Generations without Memory Throughout the Nineteenth-Century, the formation of identifiable generations seems to have been linked to specific moments in the development of the nation state. Even when generational movements were expressions of an identification with the cause of the People as the collective subject of history, the experience was still bounded by a certain conception of the nation. More recently, however, and especially beginning with May 1968, the nation as an important component of memory seems to be lacking. It appears that identification with territory or a centralized national culture has been considerably weakened. We may be entering a period when the idea of generation takes precedent over those of "blood", family and nation.
