Summary/Abstract: Discussing ‘generations’ as an analytic category as used in the Humanities today the authors think about the term’s definitions and meanings in memory studies as well as in studies on changes of social attitudes and on the politics of memory. They examine how this category functions in public discourse in Poland after 1989, and also what role generational (self)declarations play today. Their key question revolves around the benefits of using the category of the ‘generation’ in studying Communism and the Polish People’s Republic. This discussion presents an occasion to explore the latest theoretical approaches as well as works that operate with the category of the ‘generation’ in detailed analyses, both in Poland and internationally.
