Becoming Oneself. On the Individuality of Aging

Rentsch, Thomas

Pages: 13 –25

[This chapter focuses on the individuality of aging. From the perspective of an anthropology of human life as a whole, it interprets aging as a radicalization of the human condition. In this perspective, the radical individuation of the self in the process of growing old comes to the fore. To age...

Aging and Personal Growth. Developmental Potentials in Old Age

Kruse, Andreas

Pages: 27 –46

[Human existence is characterized by the simultaneity of vulnerability and potentiality. Vulnerability is reflected above all in the susceptibility to illness, potentiality in mental (cognitive, emotional, spiritual) development as well as in the ability to adapt successfully to new situations....

Beyond Control. Dependence and Passivity in Old Age

Rüegger, Heinz

Pages: 47 –57

[As people grow old, they risk becoming dependent upon the help of others. In a similar way, growing old can go hand-in-hand with a shift from activity to passivity, to the receptive dimension of life. This chapter argues that autonomy and dependence as well as activity and passivity are...

The Aging Body as Lived History. A Phenomenological Perspective

Dekkers, Wim

Pages: 61 –74

Becoming Old. The Gendered Body and the Experience of Aging

Wehrle, Maren

Pages: 75 –95

[It seems rather obvious that the experience of aging is not indifferent to gender, and that studies of gender ought to account for aging and old age. Yet, the two subject matters have been rarely investigated together. The anthropological-phenomenological approach introduced in this chapter...

Capturing Space. Aging, (Dis-)Placement, or Making Room

Schües, Christina

Pages: 97 –109

[Aging is rarely considered in relation to spatial concepts. However, a closer look reveals that the concepts of space and place, living and dwelling are essential to questions about the life and care of older people. The spatiality of one’s own being, the possibility of capturing space for...

Living in a Temporal Perspective. Aging Between Metric and Narrative Time

Baars, Jan

Pages: 113 –127

[Aging and time are interconnected because aging is basically living seen in a temporal perspective. This makes “time” an important concept in trying to explain aging. Throughout the history of thinking about time, we can trace a dichotomy between metric time and lived time. More attention for...

Embodied Time. The Narrative Refiguration of Aging

Coors, Michael

Pages: 129 –141

[Since antiquity, various texts have considered the experiences of human aging and living in old age. However, most of these texts are not systematic reflections. Therefore, this paper explores systematically how to understand aging as a temporal phenomenon of embodied human life. It does so by...

The Autumn of My Years. Aging and the Temporal Structure of Human Life

Schweda, Mark

Pages: 143 –159

[This chapter examines the anthropological implications of aging and old age in the context of the temporal structuredness of human life. It explores how our conceptions of aging and old age receive their shape and significance by their embeddedness in an overarching temporal arc, a general...
