In our highly interconnected and globalized world, people often
pursue their aspirations in multiple places. Yet in public and
scholarly debates, aspirations are often seen as the realm of
younger, mobile generations, since they are assumed to hold the
greatest potential for shaping the future. This volume flips this
perspective on its head by exploring how aspirations are
constructed from the vantage point of later life, and shows how
they are pursued across time, space, and generations. The
aspirations of older people are diverse, and relate not only to
aging itself but also to planning the next generation’s future,
preparing an "ideal" retirement, searching for intimacy and
self-realization, and confronting death and afterlives. Aspiring in
Later Life brings together rich ethnographic cases from different
regions of the world, offering original insights into how
aspirations shift over the course of life and how they are pursued
in contexts of translocal mobility. This book is also freely
available online as an open-access digital edition.​
