The purpose of this study is to put in evidence the theme of transitions from two closely intertwined points of view: first, transitions as related to adult education; second, transitions concerning the role of the adult. On one hand we will show how the concept of transition allows a re-reading of the mission and vision of a discipline that needs redefining in the light of a new interpretative dimensions emerging from the complexity of the present. On the other hand we will focus attention on the fact that educational proposals concerning adults must look at transitions as structural elements that characterize the life course, profoundly affecting dimensions of social and individual identity.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to put in evidence the theme of transitions from two closely intertwined points of view: first, transitions as related to adult education; second, transitions concerning the role of the adult. On one hand we will show how the concept of transition allows a re-reading of the mission and vision of a discipline that needs redefining in the light of a new interpretative dimensions emerging from the complexity of the present. On the other hand we will focus attention on the fact that educational proposals concerning adults must look at transitions as structural elements that characterize the life course, profoundly affecting dimensions of social and individual identity.
