Issues around age and oldness are characterized by asynchronities, ambiguities and contradictions. Thus, on a scale of extremes, we can observe a paradigmatic shift to frame the later life as Golden Age, characterized by incentives for participation and inclusion that coexists with a widespread social ignorance of the old, perpetuating the deeply rooted disgust against the frailness of the Dark Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe so called ¿old¿ are in the cross-fire of cultural debates, welfare policies and consumption strategies. Their growing demographic and political pressure continues to force authorities of public life to deal with the question who they ¿ ¿the old¿ ¿ actually are. A ¿creative amalgamation¿ (Holstein\u0026amp;Minkler, in Bernard\u0026amp;Scharf, 2007:24) of knowledge and experience is needed in order to understand and take abreast of new meanings and identities in later life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783656294962\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA critical exploration of the double denial of old identity\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783656294962","offer_id":39432723628125,"sku":"9783656294962","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e21a6d7b-9230-4133-b308-b631e0f16f2c.jpg?v=1778129807","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/key-issues-in-identity-a-critical-exploration-of-the-double-denial-of-old-identity-von-zuzanna-szutenberg","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
