Items related to Cultures of Ageing: Self, Citizen and the Body
For undergraduate courses in sociology and psychology which examine ageing adulthood. This book focuses on the dramatic changes to the nature of post-retirement life experienced by people at the end of the twentieth century. It examines age and ageing in terms of the key preoccupations of contemporary sociology - citizenship, the body and the self. The book provides a platform for a new social gerontology that sees ageing as central to our understanding of social change. It examines social, cultural and political changes in Europe and North America to address the need for a text that moves the study of ageing from social policy towards the mainstream of social science.

From the Back Cover:
Cultures of Ageing aims to redress this imbalance. Starting from a radically different perspective, the authors identify the changing nature of ageing as both central to, and problematical for, modern life. The rise and subsequent crises of welfare state systems have invested old age with a key role in redefining the position of citizens and the role of governments. Ageing has ceased to have any stable meaning in relation to biology, policy or experience. Instead it has become an open phenomenon of flux rather than of closure. This new book focuses upon these changes and examines in particular the significance of lifestyle cultures associated with the third age. Each chapter of this book examines a different aspect of ageing and relates it to the core themes of self and identity, citizenship, and the body.
