This collection of essays explores cultural narratives of care in
the contexts of ageing and illness. It includes both text-based and
practice-based contributions by leading and emerging scholars in
humanistic studies of ageing. The authors consider care not only in
film (feature and documentary) and literature (novel, short story,
children’s picturebook) but also in the fields of theatre
performance, photography and music. The collection has a broad
geographical scope, with case studies and primary texts from Europe
and North America but also from Hong Kong, Japan, Australia,
Argentina and Mexico. The volume asks what care, autonomy and
dependence may mean and how these may be inflected by social and
cultural specificities. Ultimately, it invites us to reflect on our
relations to others as we face the global and local challenges of
care in ageing societies.
