Imagistic Care explores ethnographically how images function in our
concepts, our writing, our fieldwork, and our lives. With
contributions from anthropologists, philosophers and an artist, the
volume asks: How can imagistic inquiries help us understand the
complex entanglements of self and other, dependence and
independency, frailty and charisma, notions of good and bad aging,
and norms and practices of care in old age? And how can imagistic
inquiries offer grounds for critique? Cutting between ethnography,
phenomenology and art, this volume offers a powerful contribution
to understandings of growing old. The images created in words and
drawings are used to complicate rather than simplify the world. The
contributors advance an understanding of care, and of aging itself,
marked by alterity, spectral presences and uncertainty.
Contributors: Rasmus Dyring, Harmandeep Kaur Gill, Lone Gron, Maria
Louw, Cheryl Mattingly, Lotte Meinert, Maria Speyer, Helle S.
Wentzer, Susan Reynolds Whyte
