Across more than 30 chapters spanning migration, queerness, and
climate change, this handbook captures how the interdisciplinary
and intersectional endeavor of Age(ing) studies has shaped
contemporary literary and film studies. In the early 21st century,
the literary study of age and ageing in its cultural context has
‘come of age’: it has come to supplement and challenge a public
discourse on ageing seen mainly as a political and demographic
‘problem’ in many countries of the world. Following a
tripartite structure, it looks first at literary and film genres
and how they have been shaped by knowledge about age and ageing,
incorporating both narrative genres as well as poetry, drama and
imagery. The second section includes chapters on key themes and
concepts in Age(ing) Studies with examples from film and
literature. The third section brings together case studies
focussing on individual artists, national traditions and global
ageing. Containing original contributions by pioneers in the field
as well as new scholars from across the globe, it brings together
current scholarship on ageing in literary and film studies, and
offers new directions and perspectives.
