Description

Many societies are experiencing growing longevity and population ageing simultaneously with increasing urbanization and mobilities. Such fundamental demographic and structural shifts have been reflected in a multitude of narratives and strategies how to “age well” in view of rapidly transforming environments, mobilities of people and changing social relations. This volume explores the transcultural dimensions of ageing and care through close-up ethnographic and literary case studies in South Asia, as well as one European case study from a South Asian researcher’s view. By critically engaging with Eurocentric aspects in ageing studies, the eleven contributions of this volume highlight how perspectives from the Global South shed light on transcultural entanglements and connectivities of experiences of care and ageing. Neben zunehmender Urbanisierung und Mobilität erleben viele Gesellschaften gleichzeitig steigende Lebenserwartungen und ein Älterwerden ihrer Gesamtbevölkerung. Solch grundlegende demografische und strukturelle Veränderungen spiegeln sich in einer Vielzahl von Narrativen und Strategien wider, wie ein „gutes Alter(n)“ angesichts sich rapide transformierender Umgebungen, der Mobilität von Menschen und sich wandelnder sozialer Beziehungen aussehen kann. Dieser Band erforscht die transkulturellen Dimensionen von Alter(n) und Care in ethnografischen und literarischen Fallstudien sowohl in Südasien als auch in einer südasiatischen Studie in Europa. Die elf Beiträge dieses Bandes setzen sich kritisch mit eurozentrischen Aspekten in der Alter(n)sforschung auseinander und untersuchen, wie Perspektiven aus dem Globalen Süden transkulturelle Verflechtungen und Konnektivitäten von Care- und Alter(n)serfahrungen aufzeigen können.
