Human Development in the Life Course
This book shows how individuals develop a unique style or 'melody' of living, beyond physical and social constraints.
Intergenerational relations
Population ageing today affects most industrialised countries, and it will have an impact on many facets of the social system. Intergenerational relationships will play a key role in dealing with the demographical and societal change. This book provides innovative views in the multidisciplinary research field of intergenerational family relations in society, with a focus on Europe. Different, but complementary, perspectives are integrated in one volume bringing together international scholars from sociology, psychology and economics. The book's chapters are grouped into three thematic sections which cover conceptual issues, multigenerational and cross-cultural perspectives, as well as applied issues. Implications for research, policy and practice are addressed and suggestions for future directions are discussed. By raising recent discussions on controversial issues, this book will stimulate the current discourse at various levels. Intergenerational relations in society and family will be equally interesting for researchers, advanced-level students and stakeholders in the fields of social policy, population ageing and intergenerational family relationships.
Temporality in Life As Seen Through Literature
With a wealth of papers in its pages, this book examines that fundamental of human philosophy, the relationship between human beings and time. Having the human subject – the creator – at its center, literature is essentially engaged in temporality whether that of the mind or of the world of life through the creative process of writing, stage directing, or the reader’s and viewer’s reception. This text examines, among others, the work of Proust and Kafka.
Sharing Lives
Sharing Lives explores the most important human relationships which last for the longest period of our lives: those between adult children and their parents. Offering a new reference point for studies on the sociology of family, the book focuses on the reasons and results of lifelong intergenerational solidarity by looking at individuals, families and societies. This monograph combines theoretical reasoning with empirical research, based on the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The book focuses on the following areas: ● Adult family generations, from young adulthood to the end of life, and beyond ● Contact, conflict, coresidence, money, time, inheritance ● Cons...
Economics and Ageing
This upper level textbook provides a coherent introduction to the economic implications of individual and population ageing. Placing economic considerations into a wider social sciences context, this is ideal reading not only for advanced undergraduate and masters students in health economics and economics of ageing, but policy makers, professionals and practitioners in gerontology, sociology, health-related sciences, and social care. This volume introduces topics in the economics of happiness, quality of life, and well-being in later life. It also covers questions of inequality and poverty, intergenerational economics, and housing. Other areas described in this book include behavioural economics, political economy, and consumption in ageing societies.
Aging and Old-Age Style in Günter Grass, Ruth Klüger, Christa Wolf, and Martin Walser
Explores the performance of aging in the "late style" of Günter Grass, Ruth Klüger, Christa Wolf, and Martin Walser. Demographers say that by the year 2060, every seventh person in Germany will be aged eighty or older, and every third person over sixty-five. The prediction for other Western countries is scarcely different. Indeed, the aging society is seen by some as a graver threat than even global warming, with potentially unmanageable tensions relating to intergenerational relationships, work and benefits, and flows of people. This book explores the representation and performance of aging in recent "late-style" German-language fiction. It situates the authors chosen as case studies -- G...
Cultural Perspectives on Aging
Current demographic developments and change due to long life expectancies, low birth rates, changing family structures, and economic and political crises causing migration and flight are having a significant impact on intergenerational relationships, the social welfare system, the job market and what elderly people (can) expect from their retirement and environment. The socio-political relevance of the categories of ‘age’ and ‘ageing’ have been increasing and gaining much attention within different scholarly fields. However, none of the efforts to identify age-related diseases or the processes of ageing in order to develop suitable strategies for prevention and therapy have had any e...
Sexualisierte Gewalt an erwachsenen Schutz- und Hilfebedürftigen
Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes systematisieren und reflektieren einen bisher vernachlässigten Diskurs – zur sexuellen Gewaltausübung an erwachsenden Schutz- und Hilfebedürftigen. Die Debatte um sexuelle Gewalt hat seit 2010 in der medialen und fachpädagogischen Öffentlichkeit zumeist sexuelle Gewalt an Kindern und Jugendlichen thematisiert. Diskutiert werden Präventions- und Interventionskonzepte, Begründungsmuster und Strategien für einen besseren Schutz von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Ältere, behinderte und kranke Menschen als ebenso vulnerable Adressat_innengruppe bleiben im pädagogischen Fachdiskurs um sexualisierte Gewalt zumeist unberücksichtigt und Konzepte zur Prävention und Intervention für Schutz- und Hilfebedürftige im Erwachsenenalter liegen nur beispielhaft entwickelt vor. /div
Gewalt in Abhängigkeitsverhältnissen
Violence in its various forms is a concern for social work in all fields of action. Professionals have a particular responsibility when the violence arises in the context of a structural power relationship, as when it is exercised against children in families, in couple relationships or in institutions. The book brings together current knowledge about this violence: It clarifies terminology and provides an overview of the manifestations, prevalence, consequences, sources and conducive conditions as well as the legal aspects of violence. With reference to the three contexts, the particular dynamics of violence are analyzed and conclusions for prevention and intervention are drawn. The textbook thus provides the basic knowledge about violence in dependency relationships and offers impulses for practice at the same time.
