Bringing together established and emerging scholars of old age from
the Humanities and Social Sciences as well as gerontologists and
medical practitioners, this open access book both showcases new
scholarship and provides new methods and concepts for ongoing
conversations about old age as an object of analysis in
contemporary culture. Cultural policy makers and scholars alike
regularly describe a “visibility crisis” of old age, a
consistent erasure or repression of images of older people from
public view. Co-edited by an art historian and two literary
scholars with a shared interest in memory, Framing Ageing examines
the in/visibility of old age from a range of disciplinary angles,
including philosophy, social history, comparative literature and
anthropology. In doing so, in addition to examining literary texts,
this volume carries out innovative analyses of visual material
including sculpture, buildings, photographs, from fine art to
amateur production and commercial images. Framing Ageing addresses
scholars from across the Humanities and Social Sciences who want to
approach the urgent topic of old age in their work, mapping the
intellectual state of the field and putting the most salient
concepts in action. The ebook editions of this book are available
open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
