title = {The Ages of Life: Living and Aging in Conflict?},
year = {2014},
note = {The binary construction of »young« and »old«, which is based on a
biogerontological model of aging as decline, can be redefined as the
ambiguity of aging from a cultural studies perspective. This concept
enables an analysis of the social functions of images of aging with
the aim of providing a basis for interdisciplinary exchange on
gerontological research.The articles in this publication conceive the
relationship between living and aging as a productive antagonism which
focuses on the interplay between continuity and change as a marker of
life course identity: aging and growing older are processes which
cannot be reduced to the chronology of years but which are shaped by
the individual's interaction with the changing circumstances of life.},
