AccueilAgeing and Care in the Middle Ages
Publié le vendredi 22 juillet 2022
Résumé
We welcome papers that deal with questions related to ageing and care during the Medieval period. Our goal is to analyze various forms of care and healing in regards to ageing or age-related conditions that took place within and beyond the domestic sphere. To do this, we will take into account the ways in which (health)care was conditioned by gender, race, ethnicity, class, and ability at the intersection of individual and collective experiences. We will thus consider the intersubjective nature of ageing and the new relational identities created in later life.

Presentation
We welcome papers that deal with questions related to ageing and care during the Medieval period. Our goal is to analyze various forms of care and healing in regards to ageing or age-related conditions that took place within and beyond the domestic sphere. To do this, we will take into account the ways in which (health)care was conditioned by gender, race, ethnicity, class, and ability at the intersection of individual and collective experiences. We will thus consider the intersubjective nature of ageing and the new relational identities created in later life.
These sessions will encourage an interdisciplinary approach.
Possible topics might include, but are not limited to:
- Therapeutic and caregiving practices
- Ageing and preventive (self)care
- Dependency in late life
- Feminized care of older adults
- Ageing and disabilities
- Institutionalization of care
- Conceptualizations of health and disease in older age
