伴随着全球的老龄化趋势,老龄化人类学也摆脱了以往的偏见,步入了成熟期。种种迹象表明,老龄化现象是一个需要认真加以审视的人类学研究领域。因此,老龄化人类学在全球化的视野下重新讨论了关于老年的定义,并总结了在各个社会中老年现象的文化差异和老年人的社会职能。老龄化人类学特别关注与性别相关的衰老经验,在世界范围内考察了老年人的地位,同时还关注着社会转型对于老龄化问题的影响。
With the trend of global aging, aging anthropology has also got rid of the previous prejudices and entered a mature period. There are indications that the phenomenon of aging is an area of anthropological research that needs to be carefully examined. Thus, aging anthropology re-discusses the definition of old age in the context of globalization and summarizes the cultural differences in aging and the social functions of the elderly in all societies. Aging anthropology pays particular attention to gender-related experiences of aging and examines the status of the elderly worldwide. At the same time, it focuses on the impact of social transformation on aging.
