Description
Summary:This paper rewiews the occurrence of the following key words: age(s), generation(s), life cycle and life course, in the titles of 259 articles published in scientific journals. Rather than indentifying the authors’ intentions, the lexical analysis of the corpus objectifies the way certain orientations, topics and objects were highlighted. This study of the communication of scientific knowledge offers an alternative perception of how sociological reasoning has integrated the analysis of human and social temporalities. In order to demonstrate their historicity, four American general sociological journals (the American Journal of Sociology, Social Forces, the American Sociological Review and Social Problems) appearing between 1940 and 2000 have been systematically analyzed.
