Aging, Media, and Culture
The intersections of aging, media, and culture are under-explored given trends in population aging, rapid increases in the mediation of everyday life, and the growing cultural significance of media consumption at the global level. This book brings together an international collection of critical scholars, both well-established and up-and-coming, from the various academic disciplines that share a common interest in the future study of aging and media. This anthology of original articles integrates aging theory and media studies through a study of core issues including the media’s influence on the construction of “old age,” the reciprocal influence of aging on media industries, age-based identities in a mediated world, issues of gender and sexuality in an aging society, and the practical implications of a more integrated approach between the two fields. The chapters explore the intersections between aging and media in the realms of advertising/marketing, television, film, music, celebrity and social media, among others.
Jumping to the Skies
This book recounts the author’s experience of living with young-onset Parkinson’s disease. He writes with candor, vulnerability, and humor, revealing how Parkinson’s has prompted his experiences of deeper understanding and a greater zest for life, as well as more wisdom, gratitude, and a mindful approach to living in the moment. He demonstrates how an incurable illness, despite its challenges, can be full of meaning, purpose, and happiness, and how sharing one’s personal hardships may enrich one’s own life as well as the lives of others.
