Will we all soon be affected by the Peter Pan syndrome, the kid who didn’t want to grow up? We can ask the question trivially to ourselves by watching fifty-one slaloms on scooters, tattoos on their arms and AirPods in their ears, on the streets of our metropolises. What do the humanities think? “Our society is obsessed with youth. It seems to be accepted everywhere. coming of age means giving up a less adventurous life.– writes the American philosopher Susan Neumann in her book Growing up in adulthood praises us in childhood (Premier Parallèle Editions, 2021).
A few decades ago, to feel like an adult, you had to check a few boxes. a rite of passage consisted of leaving home, graduating, finding a job, getting married, having a child. “These standards are no longer sufficient. Aging has become more complicated, like a long tunnel to walk through.”
