Single women were nearing middle age at thirty, and mothers in their forties were expected to become sexless; meanwhile, fortyish men anguished over whether their "time for love had gone by." Looking at well-known novels of the period, as well as advertisements, cartoons, and medical and advice manuals, Kay Heath uncovers how this ideology of decline permeated a changing culture. Aging by the Book unmasks and confronts midlife anxiety by examining its origins, demonstrating that our current negative attitude toward midlife springs from Victorian roots, and arguing that only when we understand the culturally constructed nature of age can we expose its ubiquitous and stealthy influence. 410 0$aSUNY series, studies in the long nineteenth century. 606 $aMiddle-aged women$xAttitudes 606 $aMiddle-aged women$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yVictoria, 1837-1901 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs$y19th century 615 0$aMiddle-aged women$xAttitudes. 615 0$aMiddle-aged women$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.2440941/09034 700 $aHeath$b Kay$f1953-$01805286 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954932503321 996 $aAging by the book$94353763 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04394nam 22006375 450 001 9910863106803321 005 20251010082554.0 010 $a9789811570667 010 $a9811570663 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-15-7066-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000011469463 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6357683 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-15-7066-7 035 $a(Perlego)3481997 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6357644 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011469463 100 $a20200925d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aContemporary Applications of Actor Network Theory /$fedited by Idongesit Williams 205 $a1st ed. 2020. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource 311 08$a9789811570650 311 08$a9811570655 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1.Contemporary application of ANT: An introduction -- 2.Communicative approaches to risk management in complex systems through the prism of Actor-Network- Theory -- 3.The Act-Shifts between Humans and Nonhumans in Architecture: A Reading of Bruno Latour?s Actor-Network Theory -- 4.The Robots are here -- 5.Developing a Framework for Understanding How Media Entrepreneurs Act: An Actor-Network Perspective -- 6.Institutional E-Learning Implementation: An Actor-Network-Theory (ANT) Perspective -- 7.Iranian Data Protection Policy in Social Media; An Actor-Network Theory Approach -- 8.Different approaches of leadership in multicultural teams through the perspective of Actor Network Theory -- 9.ANT and Mobile network service adoption in banking industry -- 10.Application of Actor-Network Theory To control occupational violence in healthcare facilities -- 11.Actor Network Theory and Networked Organizations, Proposing a Conceptual Framework -- 12.How Actors of Social Networks Affect Differently on theOthers?

As our civilization evolves from human to technologically-driven, new socio-technical networks of actors?in society, business and government?are emerging by the day. These networks of actors collaborate to produce contemporary goods and services, handle production processes, manage risks, develop social and commercial networks, develop policy development, manage complexities and create new ways of life. This book provides unique conceptual tools needed to analyze such processes, highlighting the effectiveness of ANT in fostering collaboration in and between governments, organizations and society.
