aging and generationality from the perspective of historical anthropology
pp. 205-217
Abstrakt
This chapter focuses on aging and generationality from the perspective of historical anthropology. Three anthropological aspects are essential in this context: the importance of origin and birth, the question of time and progress, and the aspects of mediation and appropriation. In conclusion, the chapter offers reflections on recent social developments in the context of generations and on the current importance of aging and old age.
