This book looks at the symbolic side of globalization, development,
and aging. Many of the dimensions that are discussed represent
updates of past debates but some are entirely new. In particular,
globalization is accompanied by subtle social imagery that
profoundly shapes the way institutions and identities are imagined.
The process of aging and persons sense of identity is no exception.
The underlying assumptions that pervade globalization inform how
critical dimensions of aging are discussed and institutionalized.
The application of marketplace imagery, for example, may impact
attempts for holism in how aging is studied and the prospects for
human agency during the aging process. This book offers a special
look into how temporality, technology, normativity, and empiricism
structure the symbolic side of globalization and influence dominant
images of the aging process. Current debates about globalization
and aging are expanded by helping readers see the social imagery
that is both subtly behind globalization and at the forefront of
shaping the aging experience.
