Abstract
The aim of this book has been to contribute to a continuing debate about the most useful ways — theoretically and methodologically — of capturing the experience of ageing in the late-modern period. This was accomplished through an investigation of embodiment, opening up opportunities to explore issues of structure, agency and identity, in a bid to identify ways in which people may, as they become older, challenge social ageing (Hepworth 2004), affecting their social position.
