Aldersgrupper og generationer

Angesichts des Spannungsfelds aus Gewinnen und Verlusten, neuen Gestaltungsfreiheiten und -notwendigkeiten kann der Übergang in die Pension als besonders sensible Phase für Identitätsarbeit erachtet werden. Dies gilt speziell für die zukunftsorientierte Auseinandersetzung mit Identitätsentwürfen im Sinne von prospektiver Identitätsarbeit. Im Rahmen einer mehrphasigen Mixed-Methods-Studie untersucht Julia Reiner Prozesse und Inhalte von prospektiver Identitätsarbeit beim Übergang in die Pension und stellt in diesem Zusammenhang auch die Frage nach der Bedeutung der individuellen Kapitalausstattung. Durch die Verschränkung unterschiedlicher theoretischer Perspektiven und deren empirische Bearbeitung leistet die Untersuchung einen wertvollen Beitrag für die Identitäts- und Pensionierungsforschung sowie für Fragen sozialer Ungleichheit in diesen beiden Forschungsfeldern.

Alt for mange unge mistrives. De kæmper med angst, depression og ensomhed. Livet er blevet en evig eksamen. Døgnet rundt skal der præsteres og performes både menneskeligt og fagligt. Men du er allerede bestået er budskabet fra højskoleforstander Bjørn Bredal.Vi er i en ond cirkel, hvis vi tror, at mistrivsel skyldes noget, som er gået i stykker i den enkelte. Bredal forsøger at bryde cirklen ved at fokusere mere på trivsel end på mistrivsel og mere på fællesskabet end på den enkelte. Bliver vi bedre til at hjælpe hinanden, bliver vi nok også bedre til at hjælpe os selv. Med udsyn til europæiske ideer om krop, sjæl og tvivl er Du er bestået et bud på et samfund, som tænker i helhed.Bjørn Bredal (f. 1956) er forstander for Johan Borups Højskole i København. Tidligt formet af livet omkring en cykelforretning i Herlev. Udbryder fra et missionsk, kristent miljø. Cand.mag. i fransk og musik fra Københavns Universitet med efteruddannelser i Paris og Oxford. Tidligere redaktør på Gyldendal, Weekendavisen og Politiken. Siden oversætter, forfatter, underviser og nu: højskolemenneske.

Vor dem Hintergrund einer alternden Gesellschaft sehen sich die Krankenhäuser nicht nur mit immer älteren Patienten, sondern auch mit einem Wandel des Krankheitspanoramas konfrontiert. Mittlerweile ist der größte Anteil aller Patienten über 65 Jahre alt und hat eine oder mehrere chronische Erkrankungen. Diese Veränderungen bedingen eine Neuausrichtung der Krankenbehandlung in den Krankenhäusern. Eine besondere Rolle scheint dabei die Demenz unter den chronischen Erkrankungen einzunehmen. Sie gilt als Störfaktor im Akutkrankenhaus. Der Autor geht diesem Phänomen mithilfe der Habitustheorie und der Systemtheorie, nach, um herauszuarbeiten, warum sich das System Krankenhaus aus seiner Sicht nicht ausreichend diesen neuen Herausforderungen annimmt. Besonders wird dabei das Zusammenspiel der Mediziner und der Pflegenden bei der Versorgung von Menschen mit einer Demenz im Akutkrankenhaus betrachtet. Die Metaphernanalyse hilft in diesem Zusammenhang, die inneren Denkmuster der beiden Professionen darzulegen und kann erste Erklärungsmöglichkeiten für die fehlende Orientierung bieten.

Eftersom Theodosia sidst så ham i et opgør i en gammel egyptisk grav, kan hans genkomst kun betyde én ting: Kaosslangerne er tilbage.I andet bind af den populære serie bliver Theodosia endnu engang nødt til at tage sig af hemmelige selskaber, onde forbandelser og magi, der er for skummel til at forestille sig, især hvis den falder i de forkerte hænder. Udfordringer er der nok af, og hun bliver nødt til at stole på sin egen dygtighed og list – sammen med nogle hjælpende hænder fra de mest uventede steder.

¿In diesem Buch rückt das ¿gute Leben¿ im hohen Alter in den Fokus: So ist in den westlichen Industrienationen ein stetiger Anstieg der allgemeinen Lebenserwartung zu verzeichnen. Die gewonnene Lebenszeit geht jedoch nicht automatisch mit einem guten Gesundheitszustand einher: Gerade Hochaltrige sind häufig von einer oder mehreren chronischen Erkrankungen betroffen, die mit zahlreichen funktionellen Einschränkungen in ihrem Alltag verbunden sind und oftmals den Umzug in eine stationäre Einrichtung der Altenpflege bedingen. Die damit verbundenen Umstände bergen das Risiko, die Lebensqualität der Betroffenen zu verringern. Eine Fördermöglichkeit könnte in der Einführung von Yoga-Kursen bestehen, da empirische Untersuchungen mit verschiedenen Studienpopulationen die Schlussfolgerung nahelegen, dass sich eine regelmäßige Yoga-Praxis positiv auf verschiedene Parameter auswirkt, die mit den Konstrukten von Lebensqualität und Wohlbefinden assoziiert sind. Für die vorliegende Arbeit wurde daher ein Yoga-Kurskonzept entwickelt, das den Bedürfnissen von Bewohner*innen von stationären Altenpflegeeinrichtungen ohne Demenzerkrankungen gerecht zu werden anstrebt und in Form einer Pilotstudie in einer stationären Altenpflegeeinrichtung erprobt.

Literature on sex, intimacy and sexuality in later life has been heavily influenced by perspectives from more affluent regions, perpetuating the belief that the West is more sexually progressive and liberal than other cultures. This book challenges this belief by exploring diverse cultures and perspectives from the majority world, which are often overlooked. It highlights the importance of learning from cultures in the global South and East, dismantling stereotypes that frame them as sexually conservative or inferior. Variously drawing on structuralist, postcolonial and decolonial theory as well as social anthropology, the book critically examines binaries related to culture, age, sex and intimacy, highlighting the need to decentre Western perspectives as the benchmark while other cultures and practices are misunderstood.

This book powerfully sets out the case for Transitional Safeguarding, a new approach to protection and safeguarding designed to address the needs and behaviours of young people in their mid-teens to mid-twenties who are falling between gaps in current systems, with often devastating results. Addressing these gaps, it outlines how the specific needs of young people can be met through this approach. Written by leading experts in this area with strong practice networks, it presents up-to-date evidence for its effectiveness, and also uses examples from practice to illustrate the ways in which services are beginning to address these issues.

While there has been a gradual increase in scholarship on men, ageing and masculinities, little attention has been paid to the social relations of men in later life and the implications for enhancing their social wellbeing and counteracting ageist discourse. Bringing together scholars in social gerontology and the social sciences from across Global North and South nations, this collection fills the gaps in key texts by foregrounding older men's experiences. It provides new perspectives across the intersections of old age, ethnicities, class and sexual and gender identity, paying particular attention to older men from seldom heard or marginalised groups.

This book investigates the ways in which emerging digital technologies are shaping and changing the worlds of sexuality and gender diverse youth in Southeast Asia. Primarily focused on the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia, the book examines the potential of digital technologies to enhance wellbeing in and across these contexts. Drawing on multi-site ethnographic field research, interviews, survey data, and online content analysis, the book examines the design and use of websites and content by and for LGBT+ youth. The book innovatively interrogates the design of transnational digital wellbeing initiatives, alongside the digital practices of those the technologies are designed for. It illustrates not only the (im)possibilities of technological design, but also the capacity for design to participate in what Hanckel calls ¿(trans)national digital wellbeing¿ processes. He asks us to consider the ways that global technologies are contextual¿a paradox that is explored throughout the book.The analysis extends important discussions in youth research, contributing to a greater understanding of how LGBT+ youth are engaging new technologies to participate in identity-making, health and wellbeing, as well as political action. It also considers implications for digital wellbeing and digital health promotion efforts globally with young people who experience marginalisation. In doing so the book makes a critical contribution to understanding the ways that transnational digital interventions get deployed and (at times) incorporated into youth practices.

In the 21st century, global demographics are rapidly changing, with a higher population of middle-aged people than ever before. As the 'sandwich' generation, people in midlife often experience significant work and intergenerational caring responsibilities, yet they are the subject of relatively little research. This short, accessible book redresses the balance in offering a geographical approach to how people embody and claim space in midlife while analysing the influences of gender, class and location. The author considers midlife in varying sociocultural and geographical contexts, viewed through the lens of the global neoliberal shift.

The concept of 'generations' has become a widely discussed area, with recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic revealing our dependence on intergenerational relationships both within and beyond the family. However, the concept can often be misunderstood, which can fuel divisions between age groups rather than generating solutions. This collection introduces and explores the growing field of generational studies, providing a comprehensive overview of its strengths and limitations. With contributions from academics across a range of disciplines, the book showcases the concept's interdisciplinary potential by applying a generational lens to fields including sociology, literature, history, psychology, media studies and politics. Offering fresh perspectives, this original collection is a valuable addition to the field, opening new avenues for generational thinking.
