"Youth" and "culture" have been a rather more familiar pairing within sociology than "old age" and "culture". Young people’ s spending on clothes, stereo equipment and cosmetics meant that the "teenager" became a vitally important consumer of leisure goods and services. These features of young people’ s experiences, along with their increasing proportion within the total population, inevitably caught the attention of several influential sociologists who went on to describe and analyze the phenomenon of "youth culture". In recent decades, the situation has changed somewhat. With the aging of the population, it is older people who represent an incasing proportion within the total population, some of whom enjoy relative affluence with high levels of disposable income. Consequently, it is older people, rather than younger people, who are increasingly regarded as important consumers of leisure goods and services. Several sociologists have begun to analyze the cultural implications of population aging. Andrew Blaikie in his book first addressed the phenomenon of "gray culture" at length.
Blalkie focuses in particular on the change in styles of growing old embodied in notion of the Third Age. This is the stage of the life course after retirement from paid work, where activity, leisure and pleasure are enjoyed before the onset of old age proper brings social dependency, physical infirmities and death. Blaikie’ s book is not about how individuals with an accumulation of chronological years actually experience later life, but is instead an examination of the changing discourses of growing old as these are expressed in popular culture.
Blaikie’ s analysis is sensitive to the issues raised by the reconstruction of old age as a "leisure and pleasure" filled life course stage, including its meaningfulness to those without the financial or other resources necessary to enjoy it. Importantly, he also discusses what the cultural reconstruction of the post-retirement phase of the life course means for our understandings and representations of "deep old age" and the biological inevitability of death.
For a book so concerned with the analyses of visual representations of later life, there are few actual illustrations. This must be regarded as a weakness. More often than not, the reader is wholly reliant on Blaikie’ s own description of visual sources and his interpretation of how these represent later life. The reproduction of a greater number of cartoons or photographs would bare greatly improved the persuasiveness of his analysis. Nevertheless, this is a timely book which makes an important contribution to the literature on the cultural reconstruction of later life. [br] According to the first sentence of the article, you can conclude that______.
