Subject: Call: Age and Aging: Discourse and Representation


The notion of “old age” – and to a lesser extent that of “aging” – is
a topical, multifaceted notion that needs to be questioned societally,
and which we propose to study through the prism of discourses. In the
light of contemporary (aging populations on a global scale), recent
(effects of the heat wave on elderly people in some countries) and
very recent (health crisis, scandal of the nursing homes in France,
etc.) news, we propose to question, in a multilingual
contrastive/comparative perspective, without restriction of languages
studied, nor of modality (written, oral, multimodal...), the notions
of “old age” and “aging” through the produced discourses, in order to
study the diversity of the representations, but also the effects that
those analyses can have on the society, so as to gain a better
understanding of the future of our elderly people. The elderly person
is also multiform and cannot be restricted to a body and/or a mind to
be cared for. It will therefore be necessary to examine the aging
person in all its facets, not only in medical terms.
