Providing a critical humanities approach to ageing, this book
addresses new directions in age studies: the meaning and workings
of "ageism" in the twenty-first century, the vexed relationship
between age and disability studies, the meanings and experiences of
"queer" aging; the fascinating, yet often elided work of age
activists; and, finally, the challenges posed by AI and, more
generally, transhumanism in the context of caring for an ageing
population. Divided into four parts: Part I: What Does It Mean to
Grow Old? Part II: Aging: Old Age and Disability Part III: Aging,
Old Age, and Activism Part IV: Old Age and Humanistic Approaches to
Care the volume provides an innovative, two-part structure that
facilitates rather than merely encourages interdisciplinary
collaboration across the humanities and social sciences. Each essay
is thus followed by two short critical responses from disciplinary
viewpoints that diverge from that of the essay's author. Drawing on
work from across the humanities - philosophy, fine arts, religion,
and literature, this book will be a useful supplemental text for
courses on age studies, sociology and gerontology at both
undergraduate and graduate levels.
