This concept enables an analysis of the social functions of images of aging with the aim of providing a basis for interdisciplinary exchange on gerontological research. The articles in this publication conceive the relationship between living and aging as a productive antagonism which focuses on the interplay between continuity and change as a marker of life course identity: aging and growing older are processes which cannot be reduced to the chronology of years but which are shaped by the individual's interaction with the changing circumstances of life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Misc","offer_id":45268623753367,"sku":"9783837622126","price":2267.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783837622126.webp?v=1769236265","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-ages-of-life-9783837622126","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
