Framing Age
Author: Iris LoffeierPublisher: Routledge

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Ageing populations have gradually become a major concern in many industrialised countries over the past fifty years, drawing the attention of both politics and science. The target of a raft of health and social policies, older people are often identified as a specific, and vulnerable, population. At the same time, ageing has become a specialisation in many disciplines - medicine, sociology, psychology, to name but three – and a discipline of its own: gerontology. This book questions the framing of old age by focusing on the relationships between policy making and the production of knowledge. The first part explores how the meeting of scientific expertise and the politics of old age anchors the construction of both individual and collective relationships to the future. Part II brings to light the many ways in which issues relating to ageing can be instrumentalised and ideologised in several public debate arenas. Part III argues that scientific knowledge itself composes with objectivity, bringing ideologies of its own to the table, and looks at how this impacts discourse about ageing. In the final part, the contributors discuss how the frames can themselves be experienced at different levels of the division of labour, whether it is by people who work on them (legislators or scientists), by people working with them (professional carers) or by older people themselves. Unpacking the political and moral dimensions of scientific research on ageing, this cutting-edge volume brings together a range of multidisciplinary, European perspectives, and will be of use to all those interested in old age and the social sciences.

Book Description
Faire fonctionner son cerveau est essentiel pour être en forme le plus longtemps possible. La psychologie joue un rôle fondamental dans le retardement du processus de vieillissement. C'est pourquoi l'équilibre intellectuel, affectif et émotionnel est aussi important que la santé. Ce livre permet à chacun de trouver des conseils scientifiquement validés pour entretenir son corps et adopter une bonne hygiène de vie. Il fait le point sur ce que l'on sait aujourd'hui de la science du vieillissement (DHEA, THS, Viagra), et laisse aussi une large part à l'aspect psychologique. L'univers mental : les ressources intellectuelles et émotionnelles ; la mémoire ; le cerveau. La vie relationnelle: une nouvelle vie de couple; les rapports avec les petits-enfants ; la sexualité. Le corps : la ménopause ; l'andropause ; la nutrition ; l'exercice physique ; l'esthétique ; le sommeil. Le cahier santé : prévention, diagnostic et traitement des principales affections (de " Adénome de la prostate " à " Vertiges ").

L'assignation matinale et originaire étant de construire des véhicules juridiques psychologiques, socio-antropologiques et portiques afin a amorcer un changement positit et une protection durable des oS. ainsi que des protocoles coutumiers pour leu valorisation dans les cultures et traditions atricaines This publication is certainly the first major thematic and critical synthesis on the condition of socially vulnerable persons (PSV) in Africa. An excellent line-up of 40 experts and institutions from different countries of the continent is making an effort to understand this phenomenon, which has become worrying, through a complex, retrospective, factual, current, quantified, punctual, prospective and relatively exhaustive analytical inventory. The various contributions are accompanied by strong recommendations that challenge the holders of issues for their application in a process of co-construction for an active citizenship of transformation. It is a document of advocacy/indictment and lobbying in favor of the development, protection and improvement of the social conditions of the elderly and persons with disabilities in Africa in terms of health, food, housing, environment, social protection, income maintenance, employment and education, given their increasing numbers in relative and absolute terms. The issue of socially vulnerable people is thus brought to the forefront of important, if not permanent, political-social and scientific concerns. It is the subject of recurrent investigations and reflections within the special mechanism of the African Union, the Working Group on Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. The initial assignment is to build legal, psychological, socio-anthropological and political vehicles in order to initiate positive change and sustainable protection of VHPs, as well as customary protocols for their valorization in African cultures and traditions.
