FOREIGN COUNTRIES OF OLD AGE - EAST AND SOUTHEA...

The exploration of what May Sarton calls the »foreign country of old age« usually does not go
far beyond the familiar: the focus of aging studies has thus far clearly rested upon North
America and Western Europe. This multi-disciplinary essay collection critically examines
conditions and representations of old age and aging in Eastern and Southeastern Europe from
various perspectives of the humanities and social sciences. By shedding light on these
culturally specific contexts  the contributions widen our understanding of the aging process in
all its diversity and demonstrate that a shift in perspectives might in fact challenge a number
of taken-for-granted positions and presumptions of aging studies.
