Margaret Morganroth Gullette

Ending Ageism, or How Not to Shoot Old People

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

As people live longer lives, today's great demotions of older people cut deeper into their self-worth and human relations, beyond the reach of law or public policy. Margaret Morganroth Gullette confronts the offenders: the ways people aging past midlife are portrayed in the media; the esthetics and politics of representation in photography, film, and theatre; and the incitement to commit suicide for those with early signs of ""dementia"".
