Age as Disease explores the foundations of gerontology as a
discipline to examine the ways contemporary society constructs old
age as a disease-state. Framed throughout as 'gerontological
hygeine', this book examines contemporary regimes, strategies and
treatment protocols deployed throughout Australia, the United
States, and the United Kingdom. The book deploys critical cultural
theories such as biopolitics, somatechnics, ethics, and
governmentality to examine how anti-aging technologies operate to
problematise the aging body as always-already diseased, and how
these come to constitute a movement of abolition, named here as
'gerontological hygiene'.
