Shaping Ageing - Social Transformations and Enduring Meanings: Adriana Teodorescu, Dan Chiribucă Shaping Ageing - Social Transformations and Enduring Meanings
Adriana Teodorescu, Dan Chiribucă
R1,215 Discovery Miles 12 150 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume examines the manifold, often contradictory, aspects of ageing, considering the ways in which contemporary social transformations affect the experience, conception, interpretation, and representation of ageing. Thematically arranged, it brings together the latest scholarly work from around the world to consider theories and narratives of ageing and the effects of space and place on identity and the experience of old age. Combining micro and macro perspectives, as well as theoretical and applied research, this interdisciplinary volume offers cross-cultural and comparative studies that resist overgeneralization and reductivism in an effort to shed fresh light on our experience, understanding, and response to ageing in the modern world. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences, particularly sociology, gerontology, demography, social policy, and cultural studies, with interests in ageing and later life.

Death in Contemporary Popular Culture (Paperback): Adriana Teodorescu, Michael Hviid Jacobsen Death in Contemporary Popular Culture (Paperback)
Adriana Teodorescu, Michael Hviid Jacobsen
R1,218 Discovery Miles 12 180 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

With intense and violent portrayals of death becoming ever more common on television and in cinema and the growth of death-centric movies, series, texts, songs, and video clips attracting a wide and enthusiastic global reception, we might well ask whether death has ceased to be a taboo. What makes thanatic themes so desirable in popular culture? Do representations of the macabre and gore perpetuate or sublimate violent desires? Has contemporary popular culture removed our unease with death? Can social media help us cope with our mortality, or can music and art present death as an aesthetic phenomenon? This volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the discussion of the social, cultural, aesthetic, and theoretical aspects of the ways in which popular culture understands, represents, and manages death, bringing together contributions from around the world focused on television, cinema, popular literature, social media and the internet, art, music, and advertising.
