- More about Imagistic Care: Growing Old in a Precarious World
Imagistic Care explores how images function in our concepts, writing, fieldwork, and lives, offering a powerful contribution to understanding of growing old. It combines ethnography, phenomenology, and art to complicate the world and advance an understanding of care and aging marked by alterity, spectral presences, and uncertainty.

Imagistic Care delves into the ethnographic exploration of the role of images in shaping our concepts, writing, fieldwork, and daily lives. Drawing from the expertise of anthropologists, philosophers, and an artist, this comprehensive volume poses the question: How can imagistic inquiries aid in our understanding of the intricate interplay between self and other, dependence and independence, vulnerability and charisma, notions of good and bad aging, and care practices in old age? Moreover, how can imagistic inquiries serve as a basis for critique?
This volume employs a multi-faceted approach, blending ethnography, phenomenology, and art, to offer a profound contribution to our understanding of aging. Through the use of images created through words and drawings, it complicates rather than simplifies the world we inhabit. The contributors to this volume advance a nuanced understanding of care and aging, characterized by alterity, spectral presences, and uncertainty.
