NARODOWSKI, Mariano. Infancia, pasado y nostalgia: cambios en la transmisión intergeneracional. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.02, pp.191-214. ISSN 2238-0094.
This paper questions the Durkheimian theoretical matrix regarding the explanation of educational processes, in which the younger generations were pre-formed by the older ones so as to add proof that this framework can only be applied in certain historical circumstances. In the present prefigurative times, the old asymmetry found in the adults-children/adolescents relation blurs into more levelled bonds among equals. Using the framework provided by S. Boym, the reconstructive nostalgic narratives, which historicize the past to reconstruct it in the present, differ from the reflexive nostalgic narratives that ironically revolve in the past to assimilate and comprehend a present no longer marked by intergenerational asymmetric relationships.
