Abstract

The paper examines the role of collective memory in identifying political generations. According to Mannheim, generation units common in the year of birth can develop into concrete group by sharing common historical experience, particularly in ‘impressionable years’‑late adolescence and early adulthood. While previous studies have classified political generations by critical events that birth cohorts experience in their youth, they fail to show the evidence that each generation have shared past, i.e. collective memory. Using survey data, I explore the generational difference in reminiscence bump of ‘most important political events. Result only partially support the hypothesis that political generations have shared collective memory.
