More about the book:
Ageing and memory â the interaction of these two aspects of life is something that everybody has to face eventually. The essays in this volume explore the cultural mediations of these categories. Through a series of approaches focused on practices and acts of memory, narrative, reminiscence, representation, and collective memory, they seek to better understand and critically reflect on how ageing is experienced in various ways across the lifespan. By covering a wide range of topics, from biopics, music by the elderly, and artifacts, among other, they all contribute to the understanding of memory as a cultural process always in the making â situated in particular contexts, and shaped by its material conditions of existence.

Ă propos du livre :
Le vieillissement et la mĂ©moire sont deux aspects de la vie auxquels tous devront Ă©ventuellement faire face. Les textes compris dans ce volume visent Ă explorer la mĂ©diation culturelle de ces catĂ©gories. Faisant usage dâapproches centrĂ©s entre autres sur des pratiques et actions mĂ©morielles et narratives, ainsi que sur la rĂ©miniscence, la reprĂ©sentation et la mĂ©moire collective, les auteurs cherchent Ă mieux comprendre et illustrer de maniĂšre critique comment le processus de vieillissement se vit diffĂ©remment tout au long de notre existence. Couvrant un grand nombre de sujets, incluant des films biographiques, de la musique chez les personnes ĂągĂ©es ou encore des artĂ©facts, les auteurs contribuent Ă lâavancement de la comprĂ©hension de la mĂ©moire comme processus culturel en constante Ă©volution se situant au sein de contextes particuliers et dĂ©finie par ses conditions dâexistence matĂ©rielles.
