- More about Critical Humanities and Ageing: Forging Interdisciplinary Dialogues
This book explores new directions in age studies, such as ageism, disability, queer aging, activism, and AI and transhumanism. It provides a critical humanities approach to aging and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration across the humanities and social sciences.
Format: Hardback
Length: 328 pages
Publication date: 01 November 2022
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
Providing a critical humanities approach to aging, this book explores new directions in age studies, including the meaning and workings of ageism in the twenty-first century, the complex relationship between age and disability studies, the diverse meanings and experiences of queer aging, the captivating yet often overlooked work of age activists, and the challenges posed by AI and, more broadly, transhumanism in the context of caring for an aging population.
Divided into four parts:
Part I: What Does It Mean to Grow Old?
Part II: Aging: Old Age and Disability
Part III: Aging, Old Age, and Activism
Part IV: Old Age and Humanistic Approaches to Care
The volume adopts an innovative, two-part structure that fosters interdisciplinary collaboration across the humanities and social sciences. Each essay is followed by two short critical responses from disciplinary viewpoints that diverge from the author's perspective.
Drawing on a wide range of work from philosophy, fine arts, religion, and literature, this book serves as a valuable supplemental text for courses on age studies, sociology, and gerontology at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
