It is funded by the University of Graz and the Department of Health, Care, and Science of the Office of the Regional Government of Styria, Austria. Bringing together insights from masculinity studies and age studies, this volume focuses on the gendered and relational perspectives in cultural representations of Alzheimer's disease. Combining a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, the authors analyse the interrelations between masculinities and representations of dementia from a wide range of cultural contexts to explore it as an intensely gendered and cultural disease. They examine memoir, film, poetry and prose fiction, and look at work from a wide range of authors, including Anne Carson, Jonathan Franzen and Philip Roth, to provide new insights into established narratives of dementia and explore the complex ways that the disease resists representation and narration and questions traditional views of selfhood and human development."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aBloomsbury Studies in the Humanities, Ageing and Later Life. 606 $aAlzheimer's disease 606 $aAging 606 $aMasculinity 606 $aDementia$xPatients 606 $aDiseases in literature 606 $aOld age in literature 606 $aMental illness in literature 615 0$aAlzheimer's disease. 615 0$aAging. 615 0$aMasculinity. 615 0$aDementia$xPatients. 615 0$aDiseases in literature. 615 0$aOld age in literature. 615 0$aMental illness in literature. 676 $a306.4/61 702 $aSweney$b Matthew 702 $aKunow$b Ru?diger 702 $aHartung$b Heike 801 0$bCaBNVSL 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910520103403321 996 $aAgeing Masculinities, Alzheimer's and Dementia Narratives$92582447 997 $aUNINA
