According to the "look" cut off from each field of knowledge or institution, they acquire contours that give them conformity and allow them to be identified, reconfigured, normalized, and having the life cycles as its temporal centrality. In sociology, the theoretical effort to understand it as an object of research has been considerable, with emphasis on the theoretical reflections of Karl Mannheim, which somehow presents to sociology a conceptualization closer to this scientific field. However, from the sociological standpoint this conceptual and theoretical discussion remains open, requiring attention and increasing accuracy, to the extent that the complexity of contemporary society brings new problems, making more fluid the temporal approaches of life cycles. This dossier aims to continue this salutary debate, from two different stages of the generational process: youth and old age. The Youth is gaining more and more space in sociological discussions. Along with the oldest production, new approaches and researches began to be carried out, mainly from the 1960s and gaining new momentum from the beginning of the new century, which is related to youth and student mobilization gestated during this period. Cultures and youth groups, their struggles and social manifestations, their living conditions and involvement with other sectors of society, such as school, media, public policy, are some of the more specific themes developed in this area. Old age is the most recent generation category to enter the field of sociological research. Its irruption is the result of longevity that has characterized contemporary society in recent decades, bringing to the fore the social existence of a generation that had been left, and it has occupied an increasing space in the age structure, bringing new needs and requiring proper care of a lifecycle which itself evokes the preservation of values, memory and tradition of a given society.Contributions should be sent directly to
