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…
The Jewish soulful aging of Jacques Élie Derrida
The essay explores the Jewish life and career of Jacques Derrida (1930–2004), suggesting how, with age, his understanding of his destiny as leader of a transformative intellectual movement grew into a soulful journey. Derrida’s celebrated volume of work, based on his masterful concept of deconstruction, is seen as integral to his personal struggle with his Jewishness. While Derrida has been the subject of numerous biographies, including many that…
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.…
Hacking age
This article is a critical interdisciplinary study of biohacking as a specific case of transhumanism and its goals of enhancement and age intervention. It focuses on the organising principles underlying the biohacking movement's relationship to ageing and technoscience. The argument traces how the historical and scientific body technologies of molecularisation, functional age, optimisation, and quantification made possible the biohacking vision o…

The Greatest Band That Never Was
This paper explores the meaning of rock music to the definition of the North American baby boomer generation. The central argument is that postwar rock and roll, since the 1950s, has become associated with a timeless and ageless narrative animating postwar identity, style, and sociability. For the boomers in particular, the emotion, time, money, and fantasy invested in rock music has strengthened both the music’s biographical appeal and its inter…

Critical Perspectives on Successful Aging
“Successful aging” is one of gerontology’s most successful ideas. Applied as a model, a concept, an approach, an experience, and an outcome, it has inspired researchers to create affiliated terms such as “healthy,” “positive,” “active,” “productive,” and “effective” aging. Although embraced as an optimistic approach to measuring life satisfaction and as a challenge to ageist traditions based on decline, successful aging as defined by John Rowe an…
Aging in the Biosocial Order
This article examines the relationship between biosocial meanings of aging and anti-aging culture, whereby new standards of measuring age derive from nonchronological models of plasticity. The first part explores recent models of functional age, sexual performance, and cognitive health, while the second part outlines the cosmetic rejuvenation practices, discourses, and technologies of medi-spa clinics that promise to repair the effects of time on…
Gerald N. Grob, Aging Bones
In Aging Bones medical historian Gerald N. Grob expounds his thesis about osteoporosis that the ‘normal aging of bones was transformed into a medical diagnosis that eventually included every aged person’ (p. xv). This transformation occurred through a coalition of cultural, medical and pharmaceutical forces that moved osteoporosis from the margins of health research in the earlier part of the twentieth century to the centre of a national and well…
Power and Powerlessness
In its assorted guises, Primitivism1 has had a strong draw on the practitioners of Modern Hebrew Literature. In some of its forms—among them those presented by Berdichevsky and Tschernichivsky—the attraction of the natural, pre-civilized and “authentic” human has played an active role in transforming Hebrew letters and bolstering the ideological underpinnings of the teiyah (the national renaissance) movement, which followed upon the heels of the …
Active and Successful Aging. Lifestyle as a Gerontological Idea
Sociologists Georg Simmel and Max Weber conceived the idea of lifestyle to identify the social connections between individualism and consumerism that emerged with modernity. Pierre Bourdieu, Anthony Giddens and others have given lifestyle critical relevance in their work by including questions of agency and structure in post-traditional society. However, the idea of lifestyle has also become central to gerontological studies and the caring profes…
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…
Neuroculture, active ageing and the 'older brain
This article explores the characteristics of a newly emergent 'neuroculture' and its relationship to cultures of ageing; in particular, the social meanings associated with 'active ageing' and 'cognitive health' and the discourses and sciences around memory and the 'ageing brain'. The argument proposes a critical perspective on this relationship by looking at the shifting boundaries between standards of normality and abnormality, values of health …

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…

Since the Index is sensitive to changes in meaningful self-care functions, uses well-defined criteria, and can be broadly taught to non-professionals, it has considerable practical value as a longitudinal measure of c…

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.…

The Problems of Europocentrism and Evolutionism in Marx's Writings on Colonialism
This paper examines the extent to which Marx's thinking on colonialism was Europocentric and evolutionist and the criticisms levelled against him. By examining relevant aspects of Marx's work, we can define more clearly his true ideas on colonialism and sort out the arguments of his critics. The paper discusses Marx and Engels's writings on colonialism for The New York Daily Tribune (1851–62) and examines four theoretical responses to these writi…

Charcot's Women
Jean-Martin Charcot's Clinical Lectures on the Diseases of Old Age is recognized as a pioneering, nineteenth-century scientific text on old age. Less acknowledged in gerontology are the elderly women of Paris's Salpêtrière Hospital who were Charcot's research subjects. Looking at the feminist research on Charcot, hysteria, and the history of the Salpêtrière, and critically examining Charcot's text in light of this research, leads to the conclusio…

Disciplining Old Age
In Disciplining Old Age Stephen Katz gives us a sophisticated and theoretically rigorous approach to what gerentology does. He deftly and subtly combines the theories of Foucault, Bourdieu, and the Althusser in his analysis of what he calls the gerontological web.Katz explores how political and social sciences have differentiated the elderly as a special kind of population characterized in negative terms, and he examines the literature of the dis…
