Description:This volume examines the manifold, often contradictory aspects of ageing, considering the ways in which contemporary social transformations affect the experience, conception, interpretation and representation of ageing. Thematically arranged, it brings together the latest scholarly work from around the world to consider theories and narratives of ageing, and the effects of space and place on identity and the experience of old age. Combining micro- and macro-perspectives, as well as theoretical and applied research, this interdisciplinary volume offers cross-cultural and comparative studies that resist overgeneralisation and reductivism in an effort to shed fresh light on our experience, understanding and response to ageing in the modern world. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences, particularly sociology, gerontology, demography, social policy and cultural studies, with interests in ageing and later life.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
