Prime Time
Fer-se gran és quelcom extremadament delicat, i alhora personal, que ens importa a tots, i molt. Entrar en la maduresa i seguir avançant en el temps pot convertir-se en la fase més excitant i enriquidora de la nostra vida. Prime Time és una comèdia que ens convida a reflexionar sobre l’edat dels altres i, sobretot, per a repensar, amb orgull, la pròpia. Escrita per la també actriu Núria Casado, aquesta obra teatral s’estrenà el 21 d’octubre del 2016 al CaixaForum de Barcelona.
Re-discovering Age(ing)
Since Mentor, Telemachus' advisor in Homer's Odyssey, gave name to the figure of the ›wise teacher,‹ fictional representations of mentoring have permeated classic and contemporary cultural texts of different literary genres such as fiction, poetry, and life writing. The contributions of this volume explore wisdom in old age through a series of narratives of mentorship which, either from a critical or a personal perspective, undermine ageist views of later life.
Prime Time.
Ageing is an extremely personal process everybody cares about. In our contemporary world, it can also become a truly enriching adventure. Prime Time is a comedy that invites us to think of age identity, and especially of how we really wish to live our later years. Written by the ageing-studies scholar Núria Casado-Gual, this play premiered in October 2016 in Barcelona (Catalonia) at the closing conference of the European project "SIforAge". Its original production, by the company Nurosfera, received very successful performances at several Catalan theatres for more than one year. Aquest llibre és la versió en anglès de l'obra que porta el mateix títol, publicada en català dins la col·lecció Sèrie Teatre, d'Edicions i Publicacions de la UdL.
The polemics of Ageing as reflected in Literatures. Essays on Ageing in Literature and Interviews with Vikram Chandra, James Halperin, Doris Lessing, Zadies Smith and Terri-ann White
El envejecimiento no es sólo un proceso biomédico, sino también social, económico, psicológico, político y cultural. Las representaciones literarias del envejecimiento contribuyen a entender aspectos como el miedo a la decrepitud, la pérdida de creatividad o la muerte, las relaciones intergeneracionales y la sostenibilidad de la calidad de vida. En el libro, escritores y académicos discuten temas de vital importancia para nuestras sociedades actuales con artículos y entrevistas que reflejan actitudes positivas hacia el proceso en que todos estamos implicados.

Women Ageing. Literature and Experience
¿Se puede llegar a concebir el envejecimiento como un proceso diferencial según el género? Aspectos analizados en diferentes narraciones sobre el envejecimiento femenino demuestran que así es. Miradas al espejo, revisiones de vida y la expresión de la sexualidad son rasgos distintivos del proceso vital femenino. En este libro se revelan los sentimientos, las preocupaciones, las prioridades y las aspiraciones que moldean las distintas fases de las vidas de las mujeres.
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...
Historical Dictionary of Asian American Literature and Theater
Asian American literature is one of the most recent forms of ethnic literature and is already becoming one of the most prominent, given the large number of writers, the growing ethnic population from the region, the general receptivity of this body of work, and the quality of the authors.

The Historical Dictionary of...
