  We present a formalism that extends the Majorana-construction to arbitrary
spin (j,0)+(0,j) representation spaces. For the example case of spin-1, a wave
equation satisfied by the Majorana-like (1,0)+(0,1) spinors is constructed and
its physical content explored. The (j,0)+(0,j) Majorana-construct is found to
possess an unusual classical and quantum field theoretic structure. Relevance
of our formalism to parity violation, hadronic phenomenologies, and grand
unified field theories is briefly pointed out.
