Implementing narrative medicine in teaching languages for healthcare purposes
Narrative medicine not only helps to make professional-patient relationships and communication more humane but also supports professional reflection of people working in healthcare by taking into consideration the specific aspects of interpersonal interactions. Since curricula in all branches of health science and medical education are often already overloaded with core medical subjects, language classes can offer a good opportunity to introduce …
Connections, negotiations, and tensions
Mobile media, and the larger digital technological systems of which they are a part, both shape and are shaped by contemporary experiences of aging. With the aim of exploring older adults' understandings, uses of, and experiences with digital technologies in their everyday lives, we conducted four exploratory focus groups in two Canadian cities, with a total of 29 participants representing a diverse range of ages, living situations, and socio-eco…
Visualizing the datasphere
Technologies for people aging at home are increasingly prevalent and include ambient monitoring devices that work together with wearables to remotely track and monitor older adults' biometric data and activities of daily living. There is, however, little research into the promotional and speculative images of technology-in-use. Our paper examines the ways in which the datafication of aging is offered up visually by technology companies to promote…
Digitization of Aging-in-Place
Planning for aging populations has been a growing concern for policy makers across the globe. Integral to strategies for promoting healthy aging are initiatives for ‘aging in place’, linked to services and care that allow older people to remain in their homes and communities. Technological innovations—and especially the development of digital technologies—are increasingly presented as potentially important in helping to support these initiatives.…

Co-Design as Learning
Involving older people through co-design has become increasingly attractive as an approach to develop technologies for them. However, less attention has been paid to the internal dynamics and localized socio-material arrangements that enact this method in practice. In this paper, we show how the outcomes that can be achieved with user involvement often pertain to learning, but their content can differ significantly based on how the approach is im…

Buff boys' with brooms
This paper explores a shift in masculine sporting identities associated with the sport of curling in Canada. We argue that as curling has become increasingly professionalized, there has been a corresponding shift to representations of male curlers that valourize youth, strength and aggression, in contrast to a previous emphasis on maturity and sportsmanship. After a review of the history and context of curling’s popularity as a sport in Canada, w…
Happily ever after? ‘Successful ageing’ and the heterosexual imaginary
‘Successful ageing’ has been a controversial concept in cultural gerontology, prompting critiques of its inherent individualism, neglect of structural inequalities and promotion of neoliberal strategies of self-care. This article aims at developing the critique of its heteronormative underpinnings. Drawing on cultural gerontology, feminist theory and queer theory, a critique of the rhetoric and visual representation of ‘successful ageing’ is deve…
Queering Aging Futures
This paper explores the potential for cultural gerontology to extend its ideas of diversity in aging experiences by opening space to rethink conceptions of successful aging futures. We propose a 'queering' of aging futures that disrupts the ways that expectations of a good later life and happy aging are seen to adhere to some bodies and subjectivities over others. Drawing on feminist, queer, and crip theories, we build on existing critiques of 's…
Vashchenko, Alexander and Claude Clayton Smith, editor and translator, with a foreword by N. Scott Momaday. The Way of Kinship
The reader is taken on a journey through uncharted territory that both broadens his/her knowledge of indigenous peoples and preserves in print information concerning their disappearing traditions.In his "Foreword," Momaday argues that indigenous peoples everywhere are being robbed of their traditions (xi).The "Introduction" by Alexander Vaschenko gives a brief sketch of tsarist and Soviet influences on the native peoples of Siberia.History is fra…

Using environmental health officers’ opinions to inform the source attribution of enteric disease

Celebrity, ageing and the construction of ‘third age’ identities
This article explores celebrity as a point of articulation between consumer culture and the reconfiguration of ageing lifestyles and identities in contemporary culture – described by cultural gerontologists as the ‘Third Age’. We focus on ageing stars whose celebrity is used to promote a particular vision of successful ageing, describing the cultural basis and significance of this phenomenon through a case study of cover celebrities in Zoomer , a…
The Embodied Life Course
This paper argues that the sociology of the body must take more account of embodiment as an ongoing process that occurs over the life course, and it suggests that a critical perspective is required that emphasizes the material processes of embodiment by which physical changes in age and time are culturally mediated. We take the concept of the embodied life course as a starting point for probing the temporal aspects of bodily life, for exploring t…
Medicalization and the Refashioning of Age-Related Limits on Sexuality
This article explores the convergence of sexual medicine and anti-aging medicine as they have refashioned standards of sexual functionality and reconstructed sexual life courses. Reversing the long-held stereotypes of asexual or post-sexual seniors, expectations of continued sexual functionality as an indicator of health in later life now underpin a growing medical and therapeutic industry. While more positive images of eldersex are certainly an …
The Graying of “Sexual Health”
This paper critically interrogates the concept of sexual health as it has evolved in relation to older adults. I draw on social and cultural studies of aging, feminist studies, and science and technology studies to outline a research agenda which treats sexual health as a point of articulation for a range of technologies and processes which shape mid- and late-life sexualities. Such an agenda may be able to more fully interrogate the sites and pr…

Science, medicine and virility surveillance
While historically sex has been seen primarily as the prerogative of the young, more recently, the emphasis has been on the maintenance of active sexuality as a marker of successful ageing. A new cultural consensus appears to have emerged which not only emphasises the importance of continued sexual activity across the lifespan, but links sexual function with overall health and encourages increased self-surveillance of, and medical attention to, l…

Sexual Medicine, Sexual Bodies and the ‘Pharmaceutical Imagination’
This paper analyzes contemporary clinical research on sexual dysfunctions to explore the biomedical construction of sexual bodies. The clinical and commercial success of Viagra as a treatment for erectile dysfunction intensified the search for biomedical explanations and solutions for an expanded range of sexual disorders in both women and men. I review significant shifts in scientific and cultural narratives of sexual problems, focusing on the e…
Food consumption patterns in the Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada
The demographics and lifestyles of Canadians are changing, thereby influencing food choices and food preparation in the home. Although different dietary practices are associated with increased risk of foodborne illness, our ability to evaluate food consumption trends and assess risks associated with foodborne illness is limited by lack of data on current eating habits and consumer food safety practices. The objective of this study was to describe…

Is the Functional 'Normal'? Aging, Sexuality and the Bio-marking of Successful Living
This article raises the question of 'normality' today and the fracturing of health ideals along new lines of enablement and function. In particular the study asks if 'functional' and 'dysfunctional' are displacing 'normal' and 'pathological' as master biopolitical binarisms, and if so, what distinctions can be drawn between them. The discourse of 'function' and 'dysfunction' is certainly ubiquitous in two areas of research and practice: gerontolo…
Hard Science
This article locates Viagra, as both a biotechnology and a cultural event, in relation to shifting and specifically gendered interpretations of sexual function and dysfunction. While the clinical and market success of Viagra has prompted biomedicine and its popularizers to speak of a `new age' in human sexual relations, and accord it causal agency in effecting social change, I suggest that we might profit by attending to the social claims that un…
Forever Functional
Historically, male sexual fitness was framed by a patriarchal politics of life centred on regeneration, population and nation. In the later 20th century, as successful ageing became promoted by the lifestyle practices of an idealized healthy and active senior citizenry, traditional gerontocratic power over the sexual risks of youth gave way to a medical sexology concerned with sexual functionality across the lifecourse; in particular, erectility.…

Climacteric Redux
This article analyzes the contemporary construction of male menopause as a clinical disorder. While medical interest in a male climacteric has waxed and waned over the past century, the past decade has witnessed a surge of both scientific and commercial interest in its diagnosis and treatment. In explaining why this is the case, the author suggests that shifting cultural narratives of aging and sexuality, rather than any new scientific evidence, …

German Attitudes to British Military Government 1945-47
This article analyses German reactions to British Military Government in the immediate post-war years 1945-47. From sullen acceptance of military defeat and occupation the mood of the German population changed to one of intense criticism of the British, culminating in the summer of 1947 in a series of widespread strikes. This development was to some extent to be expected: no authority would have been popular which had to run the country in a peri…

The Quality of Manhood
This paper argues for the need to revisit classical sociological texts with a view to excavating the masculinity that inheres in these texts and saturates the concept of the social. Primarily through an examination of Durkheim and Simmel, it explores the strategies whereby masculine individuals could be released from corporeality and granted the sort of embodiment that allowed them to transcend their particularity and become social agents. It is …

Closer integration or re‐nationalization? Recent trends in EU migration and asylum policies
Although there has been general agreement in the European Union that the problems created by international migration require harmonized policy responses, the Conference at Tampere in October 1999 demonstrated again the ongoing controversies among member states.

The Democratization of Local Politics in the British Zone of Germany
In 1945, during the weeks following the arrival of Allied troops in Germany, the average German citizen appeared to British observers as 'dazed and stunned' and quite indifferent to important international events around him such as the Potsdam Conference, which, after all, was to determine the future of his country.' There was enormous relief, particularly in the big cities such as Hanover, that the fighting was over and the senseless destruction…
