| Annotation | This discussion seeks to question implicitly whether people are "really old" if they do not have spatially restricted identities. Pater Laslett, in an article, "The significance of the past in the study of ageing" (Ageing and Society, 1984), proposed that the contemporary situation can be understood by comparison with the past. The answers given in this present article are a beginning in sketching out the ways in which space is central to the social construct of "old age". (RH). |
