- 요약This dissertation explores how notions of "youth" ("jeunesse") and generational difference were used in postwar France to characterize and encapsulate the era's rapid socio-cultural and economic changes. It argues that the confluence of population and economic growth between 1945-1973 contributed to a dominant discourse linking youthfulness to societal change at a time of sweeping social and economic transformation. In 1945, France was defined by its aging and largely rural population as well as its far-flung empire. Within a generation, the country, shorn of its colonies, had become a highly urbanized and technologically advanced mass consumer society firmly situated within an integrating Europe. "Modernization" provided the ideological undercurrent to this makeover, as an elite milieu of academics, business leaders, and policymakers preached the virtues of technology, efficiency, and material gain. Across four diverse case studies, this dissertation demonstrates how "youth," serving as an elastic social ideal rather than a fixed demographic category, became a rhetorical device to frame, and often legitimate, discourses on "modernization." Amid a larger renegotiation of French national identity, notions of youth and generational difference helped accentuate perceived ruptures with the past and offered, for those inclined to appropriate them, a useful collection of contrasts: between new and old, "modernity" and "tradition," change and continuity.This dissertation also interrogates the narratives of social, cultural, and economic "progress" that accompanied processes of postwar change. By stressing the disruptive effects of postwar policies of "modernization" and the uneven access to the fruits of France's "economic miracle," this dissertation highlights the limits of the "Trente Glorieuses" ("Thirty Glorious Years"), a periodization that has long projected a story of linear progress amid rapid economic and demographic change. In doing so, it brings discourses on youth to the forefront of an emerging scholarly critique of the Trente Glorieuses and its embedded mythologies.
