商品簡介
This volume examines how the concept of age is used in everyday life and in official systems to inform and structure actions and expectations. Following an overview of his career in gerontology and research projects, Bytheway (aging and biographical studies, The Open U., UK) explores how people experience aging by what interviewees say about how they spend and view their time and birthdays. He also analyzes these themes in excerpts from literary sources including biographies, novels, published diaries and letters. Chapters include discussion questions. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
