Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. With an increasingly
diverse ageing population, we need to expand our understanding of
how social divisions intersect to affect outcomes in later life.
This edited collection examines ageing, gender, and sexualities
from multidisciplinary and geographically diverse perspectives and
looks at how these factors combine with other social divisions to
affect experiences of ageing. It draws on theory and empirical data
to provide both conceptual knowledge and clear 'real-world'
illustrations. The book includes section introductions to guide the
reader through the debates and ideas and a glossary offering clear
definitions of key terms and concepts.
This book offers a contemporary account of what it means to inhabit
academia as a privilege, risk, entitlement or a failure. Drawing on
international perspectives from a range of academic disciplines, it
asks whether feminist spaces can offer freedom or flight from the
corporatized and commercialized neoliberal university. How are
feminist voices felt, heard, received, silenced, and masked? What
is it to be a feminist academic in the neoliberal university? How
are expectations, entitlements and burdens felt in inhabiting
feminist positions and what of 'bad feeling' or 'unhappiness'
amongst feminists? The volume consider these issues from across the
career course, including from 'early career' and senior established
scholars, as these diverse categories are themselves entangled in
academic structures, sentiments and subjectivities; they are
solidified in, for example, entry and promotion schemes as well as
funding calls, and they ask us to identify in particular stages of
'being' or 'becoming' academic, while arguably denying the
possibility of ever arriving. It will be essential reading for
students and researchers in the areas of Education, Sociology, and
Gender Studies.

"What are you waiting for?" Stop wasting your time" "You will die
alone," "You will miss the train and stay on your own!" These are
some of the questions and warnings that single women hear on an
everyday basis. Single women are constantly being asked whether
they are ''still single,'' or being bid to get married next or
soon. Still, soon, ever-after, waste of time, waiting, how long,
when, all these form part of the rich language of time. This book
argues that time plays a crucial rule in the discursive formation
of female singlehood and that our common understanding of
singlehood is dominated by underlying temporal models, premises and
concepts. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach and integrating
different theoretical realms and perspectives, this book paves way
for a new theorization of singlehood and time. Lahad's unique
approach gives us the opportunity to explore and theorize
singlehood through temporal concepts such as waiting, wasting time,
timeout and accelerated aging. Other temporal categories which are
examined throughout this book as age, the life course, linearity
and commodification of time enable the fresh consideration of our
dominant perceptions about collective clocks, schedules, time
tables and the temporal organization of social life in general. By
proposing this new analytical direction, this book seeks to rework
some of our common conceptions of singlehood, and presents a new
theoretical arsenal with which the temporal paradigms which devalue
and marginalize single women and women's subjectivies in general
can be understated. Lahad argues that singlehood is sociologically
important, because it touches upon some of the pressing issues in
social life and raises fundamental questions about how people make
sense of their lives and organize their lives with others. Drawing
on a wide range of cultural resources - including web columns,
blogs, advice columns, popular cliches, advertisements and
references from television and cinema, the author challenges the
meaning-making processes of singlehood and time. In this
connection, the book lays the ground for a rich, multilayered
politicized analysis of solo living and temporality and intends to
be a mile stone in both singlehood and time studies. -- .
This volume provides a novel platform to re-evaluate the notion of
open-ended intimacies through the lens of affect theories.
Contributors address the embodied, affective and psychic, sensorial
and embodied aspects of their ongoing intimate entanglements across
various timely phenomena. This fascinating collection asks how the
study of affect enables us to rethink intimacies, what affect
theories can do to the prevailing notion of intimacy and how they
renew and enrich theories of intimacy in a manner which also
considers its normative and violent forms. This collection brings
together a selection of original chapters which invite readers to
rethink such concepts as care, closeness and connectivity through
the notion of affective intimacies. Based on rigorous research, it
offers novel insights on a variety of themes from austerity culture
to online discussions on regretting motherhood, from anti-ableist
notions of health to teletherapies in the era of COVID-19, and from
queer intimacies to critiques of empathy. Lively and
thought-provoking, this collection contributes to timely topics
across the social sciences, representing multiple disciplines from
gender studies, sociology and cultural studies to anthropology and
queer studies. By so doing, it advances the value of
interdisciplinary perspectives and creative methodologies for
understanding affective intimacies. -- .
Table for one: A critical reading of singlehood, gender and time is
the first book to consider the profound relationship between
singlehood and time. Drawing on a wide range of cultural resources
- including web columns, blogs, advice columns, popular cliches,
advertisements and references from television and cinema, the
author challenges the conventional meaning-making processes of
singlehood and time. Lahad's analysis gives us the opportunity to
explore and theorize singlehood through varied temporal concepts
such as waiting, wasting, timeout, age, the life course, linearity
and commodification of time. This unique analytical approach
enables the fresh consideration of some of our dominant perceptions
about collective clocks, schedules, time tables and the temporal
organization of social life in general. -- .
