O knihe
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.
