description The conceptualization and application of the notion of "generation" have been the subject of many debates in the field of the contemporary social theory. This article presents the path that the use of the concept in the field of social theory has had, from its first applications to the contemporary approaches. At the same time, the main current challenges to the use of this notion are noted, in order to support its own positioning concerning the debate, which rescues the relevance of the concept of political generation for understanding the dynamics of social movements, in function of a broad and comprehensive perspective.

This article presents the path that the use of the concept in the field of social theory has had, from its first applications to the contemporary approaches.

La conceptualización y aplicación de la noción de “generación” ha sido objeto de múltiples debates en el campo de la teoría social contemporánea. En el presente texto, se presenta el recorrido que tuvo la utilización del concepto en el campo de la teoría social, desde sus primeras aplicaciones hasta los enfoques contemporáneos. A su vez, se da cuenta de las principales impugnaciones actuales a la utilización de esta noción, para sustentar finalmente un posicionamiento propio respecto al debate, que rescata la pertinencia del concepto de generación política para la comprensión de las dinámicas de los movimientos sociales, en función de una perspectiva amplia y comprensiva. A conceituação e aplicação do conceito de "geração" tem sido muito debatida no campo da teoria social contemporânea. Neste texto, se apresenta o percurso que teve o uso do conceito no campo da teoria social, desde as suas primeiras aplicações até as abordagens contemporâneas. Em paralelo, se consideram as principais impugnações atuais à utilização desta noção para sustentar finalmente um posicionamento próprio frente ao debate, o qual resgata a pertinência do conceito de geração política para a compreensão das dinâmicas dos movimentos sociais, em função de uma perspectiva ampla e abrangente.
