Applying interdisciplinary perspectives about everyday life to vital
issues in the lives of older people, this book maps together the often
taken-for-granted aspects of what it means to age in an ageist society.
Part of the Ageing in a Global Context series, the two parts address the
materialities and the embodiments of everyday life respectively. Topics
covered include household possessions, public and private spaces, older
drivers, media representations, dementia care, health-tracking, dress
and sexuality. This focus on micro-sociological conditions allows us to
rethink key questions which have shaped debates in the social aspects of
ageing. International contributions, including from the UK, USA, Sweden
and Canada, provide a critical guide to inform thinking and planning our
ageing futures.
