Abstract

The rapid onset of dementia after an illness, the development of gray hair after a traumatic loss, the sudden appearance of a wrinkle in the brow of a spurned lover. The realist novel uses these conventions to accelerate the process of aging into a descriptive moment, writing the passage of years on the body all at once. Aging, Duration, and the English Novel argues that the formal disappearance of aging from the novel parallels the ideological pressure to identify as being young by repressing the process of growing old. The construction of aging as a shameful event that should be hidden - to improve one's chances on the job market or secure a successful marriage - corresponds to the rise of the long novel, which draws upon the temporality of the body to map progress and decline onto the plots of nineteenth-century British modernity.

Abstract

Menschliches Altern unterliegt immer der kulturellen Interpretation. Der kontinuierliche biologische Prozess von Reifung und Abbau der physischen und psychischen Kraft wird so in der Vorstellung der Lebensalter erst erkennbar und bedeutsam. Topoi wie beispielsweise diejenigen vom einfältigen Kind oder dem grauhaarigen Weisen erschließen dabei als habituelle Verstehens- und Denkmuster das soziale und kulturelle Wissen von den Lebensstufen in Tradition und Wandel. Die Alterstopoi offenbaren in ihrer Wiederholbarkeit bei historisch je unterschiedlicher Diskursivierung ein Argumentationspotenzial, das konventionelle Alterszuschreibungen weiterdenkt und umkodiert. Dies wird am Beispiel von Text- und Bildzeugnissen von der alttestamentlichen Tradition bis ins 21. Jahrhundert untersucht. Im Mittelpunkt stehen literarische und religiöse Konzepte menschlicher Lebensalter, die um Perspektiven aus der Kunst-, Medizin- und Rechtsgeschichte ergänzt werden. Dabei erweist sich die Variation der Alterstopik als Beispiel dafür, wie sich innerhalb der Tradition kontinuierlich neue Denkräume zur Interpretation des menschlichen Alters eröffnen. Die topische Struktur des skizzierten Wandlungskontinuums eröffnet auch neue Perspektiven auf andere anthropologische Themen wie Liebe, Leben und Tod, die sich an das kulturelle Interpretament der Lebensalter anschließen.

Abstract

There are more than 15 million people aged over 65 currently living in the MENA region, yet little attention has been paid to the cultural significance of growing old. This book recognises the widespread silence by countering the critical corpus that reads modern Arabic novels as a political discourse with an emphasis on youth achievement. By assembling a range of fictional works from different parts of the Arab world that incorporate older characters, it draws on a range of theoretical approaches to aging, particularly from the perspective of gender and feminism, to reconcile the biological and cultural understandings of old age.

Abstract

This wide-ranging study looks at how the ageing process has alternately been figured in and excluded from twentieth-century French literature, philosophy and psychoanalysis. It espouses a critical interdisciplinarity and calls into question the assumptions underlying much research into ageing in the social sciences, work in which the negative aspects of growing older are almost invariably suppressed. It offers a major reappraisal of Simone de Beauvoir's great but neglected late treatise, La Vieillesse , and presents the first substantial discussion of a lost documentary film about old age in which Beauvoir appears and which she helped to write, PROMENADE AU PAYS DE LA VIEILLESSE. Questioning Beauvoir's own rather reductive reading of Gide's work on old age, this study analyses the way in which his Journal and Ainsi soit-il experiment with a range of representational models for the senescent subject. The encounter between psychoanalysis and ageing is framed by a reading of Violette Leduc's autobiographical trilogy, in which she suggests that psychoanalysis, to its detriment, simply cannot allow ageing to signify. This claim is tested in a critical survey of recent theoretical and clinical work by psychoanalysts interested in ageing in France, the UK and the US. Lastly, Hervé Guibert's recently republished photo-novel about his elderly great-aunts, Suzanne et Louise , is examined as a work of intergenerational empathy and is found, in addition, to be an important statement of his photographic aesthetic. Navigating between the extremes of fury ('age rage') and serene acceptance ('going gently'), this study aims throughout to examine the role which ageing plays in formal, as well as thematic, terms in writing the life of the subject.
