La violencia y discriminación en un contexto de comunicación política, en el marco de elecciones y estrategias, que viven los grupos generacionales: niñas, niños, adolescentes, jóvenes y personas adultas mayores, es diferenciado según la edad que atraviesan, la realidad que viven y cómo esto se expresa a través de distintas prácticas sociales. La violencia y la discriminación, en cada grupo generacional, desde el quehacer político, en lo que tiene que ver con estrategias y comunicación, frente a un contexto electoral, muestra además, que no solo se practica hacia cada uno, sino en un ambiente-país, donde se expone, cómo distintos escenarios han marcado el relacionamiento entre los distintos actores sociales. El ensayo muestra cómo ciertas acciones de violencia y discriminación pasan desapercibidas y que a veces son invisibilizadas, a tal punto que tienden a naturalizarse. Se concluye que la prevención de la violencia y la discriminación en el espectro de la comunicación, políticas y estrategias es un tema de Estado, pero también se construye desde la sociedad civil, empezando por su base fundamental: la familia, para lo cual se da especial importancia al fortalecimiento de las relaciones y el diálogo intergeneracional. Hacer comunicación con enfoque de derechos es uno de los retos fundamentales, no solo a llevarse desde la esfera pública, sino desde la privada también, para proteger y garantizar los derechos de niñas, niños, adolescentes, jóvenes y personas adultas mayores.

This study focuses on the critical role of grandparents in Spain's contemporary family structure, particularly in the Canary Islands, and their impact on grandchildren's education and development. Through a systematic literature review, including the analysis of 16 relevant articles, the multifaceted contributions of grandparents, from caregiving to education, are explored, highlighting the positive impact of intergenerational interactions on children's value and skill development. Moreover, the significance of intergenerational projects involving grandparents and grandchildren in educational and community activities is emphasized to enrich educational experiences and strengthen family bonds. Framed within the studies of the University Chair on Life Cycles and Elderly People at the University of La Laguna, this work underscores the need to recognize and support grandparents' role in educating future generations amidst a lack of previous research in the Spanish context and the constant evolution of family dynamics.

El presente artículo abre al debate público la importancia de establecer relaciones basadas en el buen trato intergeneracional, que se vean reflejadas en políticas públicas intergeneracionales como un mecanismo eficaz de la prevención de la violencia. Así también, expone a la comunicación, en sus distintas expresiones, como una herramienta fundamental para construir diálogos intergeneracionales respetuosos, aceptando el desafío permanente de romper paradigmas como el adultocentrismo, entre otros. Finalmente, argumenta a favor de una sociedad más igualitaria basada en las relaciones sociales intergeneracionales.

Resumen Este artículo examina una experiencia colaborativa entre un grupo de estudiantes y docentes en su afán por combatir las violencias machistas en una escuela secundaria de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. A través de un estudio cualitativo, se analizaron iniciativas llevadas adelante por este colectivo de mujeres luego de que las estudiantes “escracharan” a un compañero. Se indagaron tanto los puntos de acuerdo entre jóvenes y adultas, como las distancias generacionales manifestadas en las percepciones en torno al tiempo, las formas de acceso al saber y los repertorios de acción empleados.

The following article will show the results of the qualitative documentary research on the experiences of intergenerational relations in Latin American countries such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Uruguay, which were analyzed from the perspective of critical gerontology in the educational, health and community fields. The techniques used were document files and analysis, reviewing the last 10 years of the state of the art on the subject, by means of the effects analysis matrix and the matrix of categories and subcategories created for this research. The information obtained corresponds to secondary sources consisting of books, scientific journals, and documents from international organizations. Basing the research on Critical Gerontology, looking at the elderly with renewed perspectives with a positive approach seeking the integral development of the individual, focusing on the hermeneutic methodology. As for the results, the positive effects of intergenerational relationships are evidenced, observing a different view of old age on the part of the younger generation, recognizing the experiences and wisdom that older people possess. In the face of these intergenerational relationship encounters, there is reciprocity in the exchange of knowledge, contributing to intergenerational solidarity and above all to positive aging.

La influencia de la pandemia por Covid-19 en las actividades entre abuelos/as y nietos/as, así como su patrón de interacción desigual, según el género de los abuelos, es un campo psicológico de creciente interés. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las actividades entre un grupo de abuelos varones y sus nietos/as, en el contexto familiar de la pandemia. Han participado 65 abuelos varones que han contestado a una entrevista sobre 60 de sus nietos/as, en relación a sus variables sociodemográficas y sobre 40 actividades compartidas de tipo dinámico/sedentario, de interior/exterior al hogar; estando solo con sus nietos/as, o con sus nietos/as y con sus esposas, o en ambas situaciones, antes y durante la pandemia. Los datos se analizaron mediante pruebas descriptivas e inferenciales (ANOVA, Friedman). Los resultados muestran que los abuelos varones realizan con sus nietos/as más actividades sedentarias que dinámicas, y más de interior que de exterior; también, esas actividades compartidas se dan más con nietos/as a través de hijas que de hijos. Sobrelostipos deacompañamiento no parecen distinguir entre ellas, y durante la pandemia esas actividades han disminuido notablemente. Se concluye que, ante el decremento general de interacciones y el aumento de actividades sedentarias, hay que proponer un mayor contacto intergeneracional con más actividades dinámicas, por su efecto saludable para ambas generaciones.

This introduction provides an overview of contemporary debates related to parenting and intergenerational relationships within national and transnational contexts. Its aim is to further the dialogue on contemporary family life in the 21st century. This special sub-section furthers our understanding of contemporary family life by situating the featured articles within debates on social inequality and social mobility; the intersections of globalization, education, and social inequality; racial and ethnic socialization; and the diversity of migrant families' multi-local experiences. As such, this introduction – in conjunction with the featured articles – encourages readers to consider the connections between the broader changes taking place in contemporary social life and their impact on the practical and symbolic aspects of family life.

Discrimination against people on the basis of age, ageism, is one of the most latent forms of discrimination in today's society. In this systematic review we analysed the impact of intergenerationality (relationships, contacts and programmes) on reducing ageism. Eighteen articles were selected following the PRISMA protocol, searching three major databases (Scopus, WoS and ERIC). The results of the studies highlight how intergenerational interventions reduce ageism by fostering understanding and contact between generations, with an emphasis on technology and youth programmes. Shared housing and the duration of interventions are also key factors. As a proposal, an approach to ageism from a socio-educational perspective is proposed that favours the creation of inclusive environments, creating synergies to break the stigma of chronological age., (Copyright © 2024 SEGG.

The university must adapt to the demands of the surrounding environment, which requires linking research and innovation through reflective processes on educational and social practice. The objective was to design a teaching innovation project, justified by the results of a national research project, which uses the Service-Learning (SL) methodology as a transversal axis, through the design of intergenerational digitized actions, capable of responding to current needs. The results of the needs analysis carried out by the research team shows that, before the pandemic, digital leisure activities between grandparents and grandchildren were secondary practices although, during the confinement, they began to occupy a preferential place. Intergenerational technological connectivity was the support for communication and meaningful relationships between grandparents and grandchildren during this period. This analysis of reality allowed planning an interdisciplinary innovation project that includes the design of 16 digitized intergenerational proposals of SL registered in the following contexts: university, university-school linkage, and educational-social collaboration, evaluated by digital rubric. The conclusions suggest that all the mentioned initiatives can be extrapolated to the social context, capable of favoring intergenerational encounters through digital resources.

El presente artículo contiene los resultados de la Sistematización de la Experiencia del Proyecto de Asesoría Familiar: “Reconocimiento de los derechos humanos del Adulto Mayor en dos familias residentes en Cali y Valledupar”. Se desarrolló durante los meses de febrero a noviembre del año 2017, a través de un proceso participativo con las familias S. P. en Valledupar y C. V. en Cali, para alcanzar el reconocimiento familiar y social de los adultos mayores como sujeto de derechos, fomentando su participación y realzando sus recursos y competencias, desde una perspectiva de derechos humanos y del apoyo intergeneracional. Ahora bien, la construcción del proyecto se realizó por medio de la integración de aportes de la Investigación Acción Participativa y la Metodología del Marco Lógico; la implementación fue ejecutada en escenarios de asesoría familiar desde un Enfoque Sistémico en el que emergieron dos ejes fundamentales: la participación social y la corresponsabilidad. Finalmente, en los resultados fue predominante el importante papel que ejerce la familia para que los adultos mayores sean reconocidos como sujetos de derecho.

Aunque los abuelos no son responsables de la educación de los nietos, no hay duda que son importantes agentes socializadores, empleando distintos estilos educativos. Las fortalezas del carácter pueden ayudar a los abuelos a relacionarse con los nietos de manera más satisfactoria. Este estudio tiene por objetivo determinar las diferencias en los estilos de socialización empleados por los abuelos en función de variables sociodemográficas, intergeneracionales y fortalezas del abuelo. Se evaluaron 300 abuelos con nietos de entre los 6 y 12 años procedentes de distintas regiones de España. Se realizaron ANOVAs de un factor, pruebas t-student y correlaciones de Pearson. Se observaron diferencias en los estilos educativos en función de variables sociodemográficas y de la relación con los nietos. El uso del estilo democrático varió significativamente en función de la situación laboral, edad, contacto y relación con el nieto, percepción de agradecimiento y motivaciones hacia el cuidado. El estilo liberal mostró diferencias significativas en función del parentesco, cercanía con el nieto y agradecimiento de los hijos. El estilo autoritario reflejó diferencias en función del nivel socioeconómico, deseo de ver a los nietos y motivaciones hacia el cuidado. Asimismo, se observaron correlaciones positivas del estilo democrático con optimismo, creatividad, perdón y mentalidad abierta. El estilo autoritario correlacionó negativamente con autocontrol. El estilo liberal correlacionó negativamente con optimismo, espiritualidad, perdón, creatividad, vitalidad y autocontrol. Aunque el sexo, la edad, el parentesco o el nivel socioeconómico parecen influir en los estilos educativos, son sobre todo las variables interpersonales (agradecimiento, contacto, tipo de relación, deseo de contacto, motivaciones) y las fortalezas del abuelo las variables que influyen más significativamente en cómo los abuelos socializan a sus nietos. A partir de los resultados hallados en este estudio se realizan varias propuestas para programas futuros.

This article offers an approach to the citizenship training experiences of young people who attend secondary schools in Argentina. After reviewing and systematizing part of the studies that have focused on issues related to citizenship education, it is based on the relevance of incorporating the analysis of the "discussions" of controversial issues that take place daily in schools. In this sense, an attempt is made to show how the ethnographic approach, which implies the prolonged presence of the researcher in the field, makes it possible to identify and closely monitor the ways in which the relationships between students, teachers and parents are structured. In this way, it is possible to distinguish and analyze a series of processes in which different and unequal ways of constructing citizenship are expressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Con la pandemia han saltado muchas de las costuras de nuestras sociedades, hasta el punto de que no solo hablamos de un problema sanitario sino de una auténtica crisis del modelo de civilización. La autora nos invita a pensar en ello tomando como hilo conductor las formas de representar y de vivir dos etapas de la vida especialmente castigadas en estos tiempos: la infancia y, como ella lo nombra, la edad avanzada.

La mejora de la calidad de vida y las dificultades de la conciliación familiar, son algunas peculiaridades asociadas al S.XXI, que se vinculan al aumento de la longevidad y descenso de natalidad. Cobra especial relevancia el papel de las personas mayores y adolescentes al generar visiones distintas de una misma realidad. Esto hace que ambos grupos tengan un especial protagonismo, por los diversos enfoques que se derivan en un mismo entorno social gracias a sus diferencias intergeneracionales. Nuestra propuesta nace con el objetivo de establecer relaciones en el ámbito académico a través de encuentros de estos grupos generacionales. El objetivo principal es favorecer un enriquecimiento mutuo. Por un lado al mejorar el sentido de la asignatura de Juegos Motores y Habilidades Motrices, en el 1er curso del grado en CC. del Deporte, y por otro, al incidir en la mejora de su calidad de vida por la interacción generacional a través de la actividad física, conociendo el efecto positivo del envejecimiento activo. Con una metodología activa, utilizando el juego y dinámicas de grupo como herramienta fundamental. Adecuando las herramientas de trabajo a las características y conocimiento del grupo, dando respuesta a sus intereses y motivaciones. Pretendiendo aprendizajes significativos para los estudiantes. Estableciendo reciprocidad en el aprendizaje, para que los mayores conozcan los códigos del lenguaje e inquietudes de los adolescentes en un contexto de enseñanza formal. Concluyendo con valoraciones de la experiencia y el enriquecimiento que ambos colectivos obtuvieron.

The main aim of this study was to find out more about the role of great-grandparenthood. A group of participants with greatgrandchildren (n = 78) was interviewed using a questionnaire containing questions that had been put through a previous pilot study, covering participants' sociodemographics, the activities that participants shared with their great-grandchildren, and their view of the role of great-grandparent and their related degree of satisfaction. The data were recorded and analyzed both with frequency tables and descriptive statistics and with the Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test. The results showed several significant relationships between the shared activities and the sociodemographic variables, such as great-grandparents' age (p ≤ .05), education (p ≤ .01), health status (p ≤ .05), the distance at which they live from their greatgrandchildren (p ≤ .05). Also, it was found that participants generally consider the role of great-grandparent to be a continuation of their prior role as grandparent, albeit from the perspective of a formal intergenerational typology, distinct from the informal typology and, above all, opposed to the role of substitute/surrogate. Greater perceived satisfaction was associated with this typical interaction of the formal role (p ≤ .01). Great-grandparents may already be fulfilling a notable function in today's four-generation families. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Banco de la Experiencia is the third intergenerational educational innovation project carried out at the Pontifical University of Salamanca. Its objective is the age empowerment to avoid the prevailing social ageism. Eleven students from the UPSA Interuniversity Experience Program have become professors of eleven young people from the 4th year of Social Education (within the framework of Psychology for adults and seniors and Sociology for adults and seniors). The seniors have had the opportunity to participate actively in society (in this case in the university context). A right that, although it is included in the WHO definition of active aging, usually remains on a piece of paper, fostering an environment that is not very inclusive. To what does the name of the activity respond? To what has been invested human capital,experience, knowledge and time (on the part of the elderly) and revenues, for the youngest, there have been countless lessons of personal and professional life.

El artículo presenta avances y conclusiones provisorias fruto de dos años de práctica investigativa al interior del PROIPRO 4-2418, perteneciente a la Facultad de Ciencias Humanas – Universidad Nacional de San Luis. En un contexto de transformación de las relaciones intergeneracionales (RI) y pedagógicas que se entablan en instituciones educativas formales, el proyecto indaga las experiencias que jóvenes-estudiantes y adultos/as-educadores/as tienen de estos vínculos. El abordaje empírico realizado estos dos años se llevó a cabo en escuelas secundarias de la ciudad de San Luis, donde se trabajó con estudiantes y docentes a partir de cuestionarios, narrativas pedagógicas y grupos de discusión. Las experiencias de RI a las que aluden jóvenes y adultos/as se presentan en torno a tres dimensiones emergentes: la pedagógico-didáctica, la personal-afectiva y la institucional. Estas dimensiones señalan claves de lectura diferenciadas desde dónde las/os sujetos interpretan y valoran sus vínculos. A partir de este desarrollo se plantea la existencia de algunos puntos de encuentro y desencuentro respecto de cómo docentes y estudiantes viven las RI que entablan cotidianamente en sus escuelas.

La literatura sobre los efectos positivos de las relaciones intergeneracionales, tanto para personas mayores como para jóvenes y adultos, es extensa. Sin embargo, en pocas ocasiones se han presentado evidencias sobre los beneficios de este tipo de relaciones más allá del efecto integrado de las redes de apoyo social. El presente estudio tiene por objetivo dilucidar el efecto de la existencia de relaciones intergeneracionales familiares en el estado de felicidad de las personas mayores de 65 años en España. Para ello se ha usado el barómetro del CIS 3109 de septiembre de 2015, que analiza el efecto de las relaciones y convivencia con familiares menores de 35 años en la felicidad de las personas mayores, tanto de forma aislada, como en combinación con otras variables. Los resultados muestran cómo convivir o tener relaciones con personas menores de 35 años no tiene un efecto significativo sobre la felicidad de las personas mayores. Factores como el género, el estado civil, el estatus socioeconómico y, sobre todo, la salud, tienen un mayor impacto en la escala de felicidad percibida.

Partiendo de un enfoque narrativo de las subjetividades (Ricoeur, 1994; White y Epston, 2002; Clandinin, 2013), nos adentramos en el análisis de dos de las películas del cineasta Clint Eastwood, «Million Dollar Baby» (2005) y «Gran Torino» (2008). No sin matices, las películas nos presentan a un personaje varón (el propio Eastwood) encasillado en el molde de una masculinidad hegemónica que se verá obligado a cuestionar como consecuencia de las relaciones que entabla con Maggie (Hilary Swank), obstinada boxeadora amateur con una truculenta historia familiar, y Tao (Bee Vang), un adolescente asiático presionado por una banda juvenil. Los personajes protagonizados por Eastwood se resistirán a aceptar la responsabilidad de hacerse cargo de ambos jóvenes; sin embargo, el desarrollo de las tramas nos mostrará el camino por el que acaba aceptando “su lugar” como adulto de referencia, resignificando su subjetividad como hombre. Apoyándonos en los planteamientos de Recalcati (2014; 2015) propondremos un análisis en paralelo entre ambos largometrajes acerca de las relaciones intergeneracionales y las masculinidades.

There is extensive literature on the positive effects of intergenerational relationships for both older people and young people. However, in very few cases evidence of the benefits of this type of relationships beyond the integrated effect of support social networks has been presented. This study aims to elucidate the effect of the existence of family intergenerational relationships in the state of happiness of people over 65 in Spain. To do this, we used the CIS 3109 Barometer of September 2015, in order to analyze the effect of relationships and coexistence with family members under 35 years in the happiness of the elderly, both in isolation, and in combination with other variables. The results show that cohabiting or having relationships with people under 35 does not have a significant effect on the happiness of the elderly. Factors such as gender, marital status, socioeconomic status and, above all, health, have a greater impact on the scale of perceived happiness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current demographic changes and work-family reconciliation difficulties in Spain have resulted in an increase in the arrangement of grandparents caring for their grandchildren. However, in order to ensure that the relationship between both generations is a privileged interaction that promotes successful ageing, furthering our knowledge of the challenges that this field of study faces is necessary. On this basis, the purpose of this article is to review the theories regarding this family relationship, which, together with the empirical research into this area, comprise the basis of a three-pronged proposal that includes the keys or challenges to studying the role of grandparents: (1) the heterogeneity and multidimensionality in the study of this role; (2) the complex interaction of positive and negative aspects that produce significant ambivalence in grandparents as a reaction to their experiences in this role; and (3) the influence of the baby boom generation grandparents' new characteristics.

Este artículo comprende un estudio en el cual se reflexiona sobre dos políticas sociales: el ejercicio interdisciplinario y las relaciones intergeneracionales, en la dinámica de las universidades con programas para adultos mayores, específicamente en el Tecnológico de Costa Rica (TEC). Por un lado, el trabajo interdisciplinario es una política social inserta en la oferta de cursos, en la formación de los estudiantes y en la realización de proyectos del Programa para adultos mayores del TEC. Por su parte, las relaciones intergeneracionales constituyen un aspecto por mejorar y así lograr una red de apoyo hacia el adulto mayor. Actualmente, esta política social se evidencia únicamente en actividades culturales, artísticas, e incluso, sociales. La iniciativa de este estudio es visibilizar este Programa, reconociendo su labor interdisciplinaria y sugiriendo el protagonismo de las relaciones intergeneracionales como una forma de involucrar y acompañar a este grupo etario en el contexto de dicha universidad.

Objective: to analyze the family relationship, in childhood and adolescence, of women who experience conjugal violence.Method: qualitative study. Interviews were held with 19 women, who were experiencing conjugal violence, and who were resident in a community in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (N. 42/2011).Results: the data was organized using the Discourse of the Collective Subject, identifying the summary central ideas: they witnessed violence between their parents; they suffered repercussions from the violence between their parents: they were angry about the mother's submission to her partner; and they reproduced the conjugal violence. The discourse showed that the women witnessed, in childhood and adolescence, violence between their parents, and were injured both physically and psychologically. As a result of the mother's submission, feelings of anger arose in the children. However, in the adult phase of their own lives, they noticed that their conjugal life resembled that of their parents, reproducing the violence.Conclusion: investment is necessary in strategies designed to break inter-generational violence, and the health professionals are important in this process, as it is a phenomenon with repercussions in health. Because they work in the Family Health Strategy, which focuses on the prevention of harm and illness, health promotion and interdepartmentality, the nurses are essential in the process of preventing and confronting this phenomenon.
