Traphagan (anthropology, California State U.) explores the cultural construction of categories of senility in modern rural Japan. He focuses upon those older people who have managed to maintain social continuity at the level of community membership throughout much of their adult lives, tie finds that the Japanese have a concept of illness called boke that, in contrast to western pathological conceptions, is viewed as a process over which the aged have some control.
