critical perspectives in gerontology  

Définition(s)

  • Critical perspectives in gerontology emerged during the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States (Carroll Estes, Laura Katz Olson, and Jill Quadagno), Canada (John Myles and Victor Marshall), and Europe (Peter Townsend, Alan Walker, Chris Phillipson, and Anne Marie Guillemard) in response to limited (micro)social gerontology perspectives on the aging process, individual life course development, disengagement, life satisfaction, and dependency. Work in critical gerontology has developed under the rubrics of radical gerontology, political gerontology, the moral economy of aging, cultural and humanistic gerontology, and the political economy of aging, with the latter being perhaps the most well recognized.
