To begin new relationships in later life is
increasingly common in large parts of the Western world. This timely book
addresses the gap in knowledge about late life repartnering and provides a
comprehensive map of the changing landscape of late life intimacy.
Part of the Ageing in a Global Context series,
the book examines the changing structural conditions of intimacy and ageing in late modernity. How do longer lives, changing
norms and new technologies affect older people's relationship careers, their
attitudes to repartnering and in the formation of new relationships? Which
forms do these new unions take? What does a new intimate relationship offer
older men and women and what are the consequences for social integration? What
is the role and meaning of sex?
By introducing a gains-perspective the book
challenges stereotypes of old age as a period of loss and decline. It also
challenges the image of older people as conservative, and instead presents them
as an avant-garde that often experiment with new ways of being.
