Description
Ronya Hirsma's thesis scrutinizes the aspects involved in aging in contemporary societies and builds a new understanding of old bodies. Without skipping the complexity of this subject, the thesis unfolds in four chapters that inspect the aging bodies closely, creating a remodeled portrait by intertwining them with concepts and theories that are not necessarily close to old age. The result is a multidimensional and compelling analysis of not just what old bodies can do but the potentialities of being in contemporaneity.
