| Annotation | This paper reflects on the process of participating in an older men's long-term collective memory work group. The focus is on the making or unmaking of masculinities, and the potential of memory work with older men. Participant review and reflection on collective memory work with a group of older men leads to a finding that collective memory work provides a novel way of exploring ageing, gendering, men and masculinities. Its potential for working with older men is examined critically in relation to: gender politics; power and (in)equalities; interconnections and contradictions of men's ageing and gendering; and the personal and the political, as well as working with older men in transition and crisis. The aim has been to stimulate wider applications of collective memory work with older men in respect of gender politics and masculinities. (RH). |
