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. keywords: adults; age; aging; anthropology; bodies; body; construct; crampton; ghana; intervention; life; new; people; policy; population; research; social; university cache: aaa-11.pdf plain text: aaa-11.txt item: #8 of 293 id: aaa-110 author: Rubinstein, Robert L.; Brazda, Michael title: Response 2 to "Towards a Gerontoludic Manifesto" date: 2015-11-19 words: 716 flesch: 50 summary: Despite the fact that one–fourth of older adults may utilize electronic games, it is difficult for older adults to “out” themselves as gamers.

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). keywords: age; aging; choir; citizens; copd; creation; cwa; health; initiatives; municipalities; municipality; people; social; way cache: aaa-166.pdf plain text: aaa-166.txt item: #47 of 293 id: aaa-17 author: DuBois, Lindsay title: Activist Pensioners, a Contradiction in Terms?

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. keywords: book; retirement; silver cache: aaa-220.pdf plain text: aaa-220.txt item: #85 of 293 id: aaa-221 author: Golomski, Casey title: Book Review: Ageing in Sub-Saharan Africa: Spaces and Practices of Care date: 2019-08-28 words: 1065 flesch: 49 summary: She highlights older adult care recipients’ self- described maladies and movements into different sites deemed ‘home’, so caregivers can address their physical and emotional needs.

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. keywords: ageing; book; care; migration cache: aaa-230.pdf plain text: aaa-230.txt item: #92 of 293 id: aaa-231 author: Wolter, Nele title: Book Review: Transnational Migration and Home in Older Age date: 2019-08-28 words: 1443 flesch: 50 summary: Anastasia Christou in Chapter 14, on the other hand, does describe phantasmagoric narratives of home and the homeland circulating among Jewish and Cuban migrants in the United States.

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. keywords: book; care; gamburd cache: aaa-372.pdf plain text: aaa-372.txt item: #202 of 293 id: aaa-38 author: Shield, Renée Rose title: Jurkowski, Elaine T.

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). keywords: aging; chapter; dementia; new; prevention; review cache: aaa-387.pdf plain text: aaa-387.txt item: #207 of 293 id: aaa-388 author: Torno, Swetlana title: Book Review: Changes in Care: Aging, Migration, and Social Class in West Africa date: 2022-03-28 words: 1915 flesch: 49 summary: This market consists of home care agencies and a small number of nursing homes, which cater to the needs of the growing urban middle-class and international migrants, who are able to pay for these services.

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. keywords: adult; age; aging; anthropology; behavior; doi; dominance; evidence; groups; human; issn; journal; life; monkeys; non; online; primates; societies; society; species; status; studies; vol cache: aaa-417.pdf plain text: aaa-417.txt item: #222 of 293 id: aaa-42 author: Lewis, Denise C. title: Sugar, Judith, Rieksa, Robert, Holstege, Henry, & Farber, Michael.
