Current demographic developments and change due to long life
expectancies, low birth rates, changing family structures, and
economic and political crises causing migration and flight are
having a significant impact on intergenerational relationships, the
social welfare system, the job market and what elderly people (can)
expect from their retirement and environment. The socio-political
relevance of the categories of 'age' and 'ageing' have been
increasing and gaining much attention within different scholarly
fields. However, none of the efforts to identify age-related
diseases or the processes of ageing in order to develop suitable
strategies for prevention and therapy have had any effect on the
fact that attitudes against the elderly are based on patterns that
are determined by parameters that or not biological or
sociological: age(ing) is also a cultural fact. This book reveals
the importance of cultural factors in order to build a framework
for analyzing and understanding cultural constructions of ageing,
bringing together scholarly discourses from the arts and humanities
as well as social, medical and psychological fields of study. The
contributions pave the way for new strategies of caring for elderly
people.
