| Annotation | Articles in this issue of the European Journal of Social Quality examine the themes of independence, dependence and interdependence from different disciplinary perspectives ranging from philosophy to sociology, and gerontology to literature and design. In "Time, age and autonomy", Jan Baars considers chronological and subjective concepts of time. Carol L Estes examines how experiences of gender and old age are socially constructed in "From gender to the political economy of ageing". The original Dutch term, "ageing in place", is discussed in Piet P J Houben's article, "Towards a conceptual framework for 'ageing in place' of older adults". John Mepham's "What is it like to grow old? Ageing in some recent women's fiction" suggests that fiction can be an important resource in developing understanding of the needs that older people have, and to contribute to their quality of life. That designers typically work according to the majority of users is discussed by Malcolm Johnson in "The designer's role in the ageing process". Finally, Anne Jamieson's review article, "Social gerontology: concepts and concerns in the US and Europe" discusses two recent publications. (RH). |
