  Survey results included (1) difficulties finding or purchasing appropriate clothing and some apparel-related barriers to participation were more frequently reported by respondents in older age groups and (2) the increase in complications were not simply directly associated with aging. Members of older age groups reported being more likely to decline to participate in social activities (the “Participate” question) because of clothing barriers.

  Rejecting the theory that disengagement from social life is a necessary aspect of ageing, productive ageing advocates seek to identify social participation opportunities for elders (Hughes and Heycox 2010:.76). The longevity and wellbeing of older men and women is raised in advice columns in popular magazines, and in other sites of public culture.

  Review: Aging in Rural Places: Policies, Programs, and Professional Practice (K.M. Hash, E.T. Jurkowski, J.A. Krout, eds.)

summary:
  Aging in Rural Places contains 13 chapters, organized into five parts: introduction, health and human service needs of rural older adults, providing health and human services to rural older adults, competent practice in rural areas, and conclusion and future directions. Ironically, the lack of research on rural older Americans mirrors the scant resources and services available to the population.

Once students have a firm grasp of the evidence-based research literature, they may quite enjoy debating the points from Ehrenreich’s book in a classroom setting where the discussion can be framed in terms of the role that preventative screenings and lifestyle behaviors have on public health.

summary:
  With a greying population rapidly becoming a global phenomenon, many countries around the world are forced to revisit retirement policies that were crafted when life expectancies did not so much exceed the age of retirement from work. This book paves the way for such critical discussions on how people internalize social narratives that equate personal worth with job performance, what freedom is left in a neoliberal climate to articulate a meaningful life in retirement without economic productivity and – by extension – where socio-economic, political, and individual responsibilities lie in the quest for meaning in later life.

  The dominant construct of old age in population aging discourse is one of individual loss and decline over Abstract This article uses three levels of body analysis as presented by Nancy Scheper- Hughes and Margaret Lock to compare old age as a construct in population aging discourse with research on lived experience of people aging in the United States and Ghana. The construction of old age within this discourse is then compared with ethnographic research that suggests this construct leaves out much of the lived experience familiar to anthropologists of aging.

Although conservative Christians face opprobrium for their rejection of the values of liberal secular modernity, anthropologists over the past few decades have begun to direct their attention toward an examination of evangelical lives as semiotically complex systems (Harding 1991, 2000; Bielo 2011).

  In this review, then, I focus on five threads from across the book’s chapters that can contribute to a more “glocal” (Appadurai 1996) theorization of care across experiences of migration and ageing: heterogeneity and malleability of care networks, care as a moral and biopolitical issue respectively and failures of state policies to meet social challenges on the convergence of ageing, migration and care. While breakdowns in care are paramount in this volume, equally important are the ways in which families and networks in different settings creatively respond to migration by fostering novel care relations across borders and beyond physical absence: web-based communication technologies, remittance transfers, and even healthcare technologies enable transnational families to continue caring in familiar ways.

  The redistribution of agency within the welfare state is often criticized for being merely a way of saving public funding, but while many (often aging) volunteers engage in the care of frail, older citizens, the endeavor to reanimate old age through co-creation also requires municipal employees and funds to organize volunteers and their efforts. As ideals of active citizenship go hand in hand with the endeavor to activate older people and reanimate old age, co-creation has become an explicit ambition in healthy aging policies ((Scheele, Vrangbæk, and Kriegbaum 2019; Voorberg, Bekkers, and Tummers 2015).

  Surveillance Entanglements: Digital Data Flows and Ageing Bodies in Motion in the Danish Welfare State

summary:
  Thus, the questions I ask of my ethnographic data include the following: What is the epistemology of digital movement data, and what images of the aging body are thus enacted? In relation to the theme of energy in this special issue, it provides a fruitful analytical lens with which to explore how energy and force are produced in digital physical rehabilitation programs in Denmark, and the active involvement of non-human agencies in the constitution of bodily movement.

Another point made by this paper is that the gaming industry finds older adults somehow toxic and does not develop games or market specifically to them, reflecting widespread cultural values that stigmatize and denigrate older adults.

  The result is often a reductionist perspective on food resources that leaves unexplored the ways that life experiences and individual agency intertwine with other factors to shape food practices and preferences (Wolfe, Frongillo, and Valois 2003; Jones et al. 2013). In this article we put the themes of agency, food tradition, and time, into conversation with research on aging and food security to offer an intersectional analysis of older African American women’s foodways.

  There was a clear mandate of what dimensions of social life in the shelter should be visible, such as nurses staring fixedly at and smiling at residents in wheelchairs, groups of older adults dancing to the latest hits, and people playing with balloons while being entertained, and what should not be visible, such as bed-ridden resident’s stunted feet, dilapidated rooms, and senile men and women tired of monotony and being disoriented. As old people under these circumstances often times appear to be “gone,” what is needed, I believe, is to start thinking in different ways of being in the world that are not only circumscribed to words, to being “aware,” and to generating economic growth.

summary:
  The notion of Mexican men as inherently macho—emotionally closed and obsessed with power, invulnerability, and virility—became popular in the 1950s and consequently became identified with what it meant to be a Mexican man. Such hopes incorporate a cultural notion of teleology, as they focus on moving Mexican men away from the problematic past embedded in their biology and toward a future of modern behavior that will also enable better health.

This argument derives from current analyses of migrant care work, that commonly focus on global care chains and care regimes, neither of which give prominence to the agency of care workers.

  Between Care and Contract: Aging Muslim Immigrants, Self-appointed Helpers and Ambiguous Belonging in the Danish Welfare State

summary:
  Thelen and Alber argue for bringing the state back into the equation in discussions around family care, because “untangling this separation is fundamental to understanding contemporary processes of social organization, including boundary making that leads to diverse forms of marginalization” (2018, 1). Shirin does not think of her time with her mother as split between family care and contracted care work.

summary:
  Post- menopausal women (35%) were more likely to choose freedom compared to pre- (16%) or peri- (28%) menopausal women; there was no difference by hysterectomy or tubal ligation status. In a study that included all participants aged 16- 100 years, 26% of pre-menopausal, 29% of peri-menopausal, and 21% of post-menopausal women described menopause as a loss of fertility (Morrison et al. 2010).

summary:
  Shea, Moore, and Zhang discern important continuities with the findings in Ikels’s volume about the ways in which, in this geographical area, demographic change and welfare transformations continue to affect care practices and support for the aged as well as challenge the understandings of filial piety and obligations toward old age within communities, families, and individuals (2). As the editors state in the introduction, traditional Confucian ideas of filial piety that prescribe adult children to fulfill their obligations to respect, obey and care for their elderly parents have become increasingly more difficult to put into practice, given the unprecedented acceleration of population aging in East Asian societies (1).

summary:
  The COVID-19 pandemic has presented us with a unique opportunity to examine how societies perceive urgent biological risk, and how they manage population groups who may be susceptible to such risks; e.g., older people. To prevent or reduce such risks, certain societal and personal protections often emphasise ‘the common good’ (Velasquez et al. 2018; Anderson 2011, 247), a concept that is prominent in Scandinavian welfare states that have historically focused on the community, universal rights and responsibilities, and the shared well-being of all citizens in order to overcome collective hardship.

  For example, empty houses indicate a violation of the social reproduction of the family and of regular practices of elderly care. As Chapter 5 clearly demonstrates, the house, care for older adults, the continuity of family life, and migration are closely linked; whereas due to ‘ultimogeniture’—a common pattern of inheritance of property in Naeaegama—the youngest son traditionally inherits the house and takes up the duty of caring for the elderly in it, migration now involves selling the house, migrating to bigger cities or other countries, and outsourcing elderly care to professionals or other family members.

As Pomm, together with Bilsen, reminds: in a capitalist economy, privilege for some often means the consolidation of existing disadvantages for others.

  “The Body Becomes Closed and Squeezed up in a Narrow Frame”: Loneliness and Fears of Isolation in the Lives of Older People in Rural Areas in Karelia During COVID-19.

summary:
  Sociological and anthropological work on the effects of COVID-19 restrictions on older adults living in the city has also noted that the pandemic primarily affects the sense of space, with familiar spaces becoming alien and inaccessible to older people and the very orientation in such spaces is lost (van Dorn, Cooney, and Sabin 2020; Furceri et al. 2020). The ethnographic material on older bodies in Karelia presented in this article, clearly shows how the changes in habitual practices required by the COVID- 19 pandemic, result in a compressed body: a body locked-up in space, time, and the self.

  Today, filial care that adult children should conduct can be substituted by various forms of care, such as community care, self-care, spousal care, and institutional care. Despite the fact that family care is still central to filial piety, today, demand for institutional care is increasing rapidly.

  These are individuals whose parents’ early lives were often marred by the First World War, but who themselves benefited from the improved educational opportunities and health care of the 1940s and 1950s. For example, Eleanor and David, individuals with low physical capability and low scores on an established measure of wellbeing, both do a very effective job of portraying themselves as living lives rich with meaning and ageing successfully.

  In short, the younger generation of Taiwanese queers “come out” because their parents aspire to be very involved in their children’s personal lives, whereas queer elders employ strategic silences because parenting norms used to prioritize a quieter form of intimacy resting on tacit obligations. While Brainer situates her analyses in queer studies and family studies, her life course approach to queer subjectivities and her attention to intergenerational queer kinship make this ethnography a necessary addition to the anthropology of aging.

The first discussion is in chapter 2 in the form of an overview of “historical social theories of aging,” a view that is apparent when reviewing the dates of the citations in this section (1961-1998) but there is no inclusion of more widely used social theories (i.e., Life Course, Feminist, Political Economy of Aging, or Cumulative Advantage and Disadvantage).

summary:
  Old age seems to give rise to a new phase in the course of one’s sex life; this assumption can be verified not only in the discursive reiteration of the prolongation of sexuality, but also in the description of the sexual problems faced by men and women in old age – as well as in the specific technologies produced as part of the solution. Older women are stimulated by these professionals to delink the practice of sex from their partner’s desires, and instead to focus on Abstract Drawing on the interplay between gender, aging, and sexuality, the aim of this article is twofold: (1) to show how Brazilian gerontologists treat gender differences and sexual activity in old age; (2) to analyze the ways discourses regarding the aging body and sexuality are perceived and evaluated by older women and men .

Inspired by Niklas Luhmann and Bruno Latour who consider risks as preventable social phenomena (Luhmann 2005) that require a long and tedious “chain of translations” (Latour 1999), Leanza writes about the “improbability of dementia prevention” (94).

  The consequences of care work substitution for grandmothers include the production and exacerbation of chronic illness, an issue that underscores the need to deconstruct and work against not only the naturalization of care work as women’s work, but also the ways in which such naturalization burdens particular women in specific global contexts. Rather than an individual, mutually beneficial relationship between anthropologist and research participant, Sara’s suggestion points to one Abstract While significant research addresses global chains of care work from the perspective of female migrant workers engaged in low-paid, unstable domestic labor in “receiving” communities, little research has focused on those who substitute for migrant workers to provide care in communities of origin.

The literature indicates that social support is a multidimensional, fluid phenomenon, i.e., it has many dimensions and each dimension may have significance for individuals and communities at different periods in time and in different geographical locations.

  An Anthropological Perspective on "Occupation": A Study of Older Adults' Motivations for Learning and Using Computer Technology

summary:
  How older adults defined being “successful” in their everyday occupations was also examined to understand how these notions relate to the larger, macro-level ideas about what it means to be a “successfully aging older adult” within the United States. This study looked at such socially and culturally constructed motivations in addition to the hopes and fears older adults may face when they are learning and engaging in new activities.

  The second chapter by Susan McKinnon anchors these introductory claims by tracing how a quasi-evolutionary model of kinship influenced late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century anthropological theories, positing that pre-modern societies structured by kinship systems and obligations progressed toward modern, secular societies structured by impersonal contract. Their major argument is that conceptualizations of Euro-American modernity have long rested on presuppositions about pre-modern and modern societies where kinship is central to the former and erased, sidelined, or subsumed by more powerful social forms in the latter.

summary:
  In addition to physical, cultural, and other dimensions already subsumed under the idea of therapeutic landscapes, we suggested that understanding patterns of occupational engagement may further illuminate the ways in which people’s relation to place is linked to health and well-being. Our paper provides an example of that opportunity by introducing a discipline-specific concept (therapeutic landscapes) to a new interdisciplinary topic (older adults’ residential transition) and augmenting it with another discipline-specific perspective (occupational engagement).

  However as non-human primate societies are becoming gradually confined to areas and environments established through human agency and human institutions, it is possible to speculate that non-human primate old age will become more common if less natural and as a result, perhaps more akin to social aging in human societies. As research has become more attuned “to the high level of behavioral flexibility that many species exhibit” (Strier 2018b, 5), it becomes clear that non-human primate social behavior reflects a level of complexity that was scarcely grasped even a couple of decades ago.
