Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Infrastructuring ageing : Theorizing non-human agency in ageing and technology studies

Notas: Sumario: Scholars of ageing and technology are becoming increasingly interested in how technology and ageing can be seen as mutually constitutive, an interest that is beginning to form new research agendas, alliances and fields of their own. Different concepts have been used to theorise and analyse this relationship of mutual construction. This article explores a concept from Science and technology studies, which has not previously been put in direct relation to ageing, namely the concept of infrastructure. It proposes the notion of infrastructuring ageing as a theoretical-analytical approach for studying the mutual constitution of ageing and technology. This approach implies slightly new versions of, or attentions to, the non-human actor, agency and socio-technical transformation, and opens up to fresh ethnographic views on the social, material and techno-political transformations of ageing.Registros relacionados: En: International Journal of Ageing and Later Life (IJAL) . - Los Angeles, CA : Scientific Research Publishing, 2021-2022 = ISSN 1652-8670. - 11/04/2022 Volumen 15 Número 2 - 2022 , p. 51-76Materia / lugar / evento: Envejecimiento de la población Calidad de vida Outras classificações: 931.2
