Ageing, Corporeality and Embodiment

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates the emergence of a 'new ageing' and its realisation through the body. The work explores new forms of embodiment concerned with identity and care of the self, which have seen the body become a site for ageing differently - for ageing without becoming old.
