Bringing together insights from masculinity studies and age
studies, this open access book focuses on the gendered and
relational perspectives in cultural representations of Alzheimer's
disease. Combining a comparative and interdisciplinary approach,
the authors analyse the interrelations between masculinities and
representations of dementia from a wide range of cultural contexts
to explore it as an intensely gendered and cultural disease. They
examine memoir, film, poetry and prose fiction, and look at work
from a wide range of authors, including Anne Carson, Jonathan
Franzen and Philip Roth, to provide new insights into established
narratives of dementia and explore the complex ways that the
disease resists representation and narration and questions
traditional views of selfhood and human development. The eBook
editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND
4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by
the ERA Gender-Net+ Project MASCAGE, the University of Graz (Center
for Inter-American Studies) and the Government of Styria, Austria.
