- W2289507184 abstract "ings of aging. Age studies sees “age” and “aging” in culture as resulting as much from ideologies as from biology. Dominant narratives paint aging as ahistorical, acultural, and universal, conspiring with ablebodiedness, class, gender, race, and other mechanisms of marginalization that impact everyone, whether in youth, midlife, or old age. But surely even the most crazed social constructionist has to admit that aging is biological. Back problems and failing memory don’t come from patriarchy or capitalism, do they? Aren’t age critics like Margaret Mor ganroth Gullette merely absurd liberal academic ideologues, deserving all the scorn heaped upon us extremist women’s studies types who perversely deny the facts of biology? Should not the president of Harvard sneer? Not so. Age studies proposes that the decline and disability associ ated with aging in our society results as much or more from class, race, gender, and access to resources as to biology. An upper-middle-class, urban, college-educated, professional 60-year-old experiences aging very differently than a rural or working-class person the same age. A friend of mine argued that we cannot deny that the old are closer to death. Yet, Gullette points out that in the nineteenth century, infants and children were seen as closest to death. So were women, who frequently died in childbirth. When death comes so often to the young, aged people appear as tough survivors. In the United States, the two dominant narratives of aging are the progress narrative and the decline narrative. Growing up follows the prog ress narrative; in fiction, it is the coming-of-age novel—how our hero or heroine rises in the world, becomes more healthy, wealthy, and wise, and achieves the plateau of midlife. The decline narrative is how we currently experience growing older. The defensive stance that shrills, “I’m not get ting older, I’m getting better!” represents a progress narrative desperately struggling to resist a decline narrative. Gullette begins Aged by Culture with an account of an exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science called “Face Aging!” that invited chil dren to look into a mirror and see themselves digitally “aged.” Most kids found the experience unsettling. Gullette noted that the changes" @default.
