The contributors to this volume show how artists in science-fiction, fantasy and the avant-garde develop visions of late life transformation, improvisation and adaptation to new circumstances. The studies particularly focus on perspectives on aging that challenge the predominant narratives of decline as well as fantasies of eternal youth, as defined by neoliberal notions of health, able-bodiedness, agency, self-improvement, progress, plasticity and productivity. 606 $aAging in literature 606 $aYouth in literature 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Gerontology$2bisacsh 610 $aAging Studies. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aAvant-Garde. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aExperimental. 610 $aFantasy. 610 $aFilm. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aScience-Fiction. 615 0$aAging in literature. 615 0$aYouth in literature. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Gerontology. 676 $a809.93355 702 $aGuimarćes$b Joćo Paulo, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2022: Frontlist Collection$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910833000103321 996 $aAging Experiments$93656386 997 $aUNINA
