| Annotation | Overview by authors of their own discourse analytic research, which has been concerned with management of age and health identities in intergenerational talk. In the body of the paper, the authors document the operation of identity-management processes in a single case analysis from a video-recorded corpus. The focus on one older woman's participation in two conversations, in the course of which vividly contrasting age identities are constructed for and by her, conversationally. This qualitative perspective on real-time interaction offers clear evidence of social practices (here, simply talk) being constitutive of ageing itself. (KJ/RH). |
