What if the world population consisted of a single generation that
lived forever? Or what if each successive generation came into
being all at once and then perished before the next generation came
into existence? How would the absence of many different generations
sharing pieces of the same time-line alter how we think about the
linked processes of aging and social change? In this book, editor
Melissa Hardy presents a collection of strategies for
conceptualizing and analyzing the connections between intra-vidual
and societal change. Studying Aging and Social Change questions the
boundaries between self and society and change and stability. The
book includes classic treatments on generations and cohorts by Karl
Mannheim and Norman Ryder and presents a new theoretical
contribution that explores the meaning of aging as a social
process. Each of the six new essays develops a central theoretical
concept, linking that concept to issues of research design and
analysis. By reexamining the assumptions that underlie our
approaches to the study of change, this volume provides key
insights into how we can understand fundamental social processes
such as human development and socialization, the formation of
public opinion and political identity, and the shaping of
collective action and group behavior. This enlightening volume will
be a valuable resource for academics and students in the fields of
social work, gerontology, sociology, and family studies.
