A new age of old age? : gerotranscendence and the re-enchantment of aging
- 2001
-
In: Journal of Aging Studies. - 0890-4065. ; 15:4, s. 317-331
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Gerotranscendence theory is reviewed regarding its content, development, diffusion, impact, empirical results, and ontology. Gerotranscendence theory describes a ''natural'' alteration of consciousness in old age leading to ''wisdom'' and a qualitative break with a mid-life rational and materialist world-view. According to the theory, gerotranscendence is obstructed by a lack of alternative values and roles in old age in Western societies. Theoretically and in clinical practice, gerotranscendence theory has been linked to psychoanalysis. It is concluded that gerotranscendence theory is empirically weak, has parallels in the New Age movement as well as in romantic Orientalism, and can be understood as an attempt to re-enchant aging.

Ældre til nytte eller belastning
- 2001
-
In: Gerontologi og samfund. - 0900-114X. ; 17:4, s. 76-79
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Artiklen behandler de svenske pensionistorganisationers tilbøjelighed til at beskrive de ældre som en samfundsøkono-misk »risikogruppe«. Organisationernes ældrebilleder sættes ind i en samfundsmæssig kontekst, der viser at holdnin-gerne til ældre direkte afspejler omgivelsernes. Håkan Jönson er ph.d. i socialt arbejde, socionom og forsker ved Socialhøjskolen i Lund, Sverige. Hans afhandling behandler de svenske pensionistorganisationers beskrivelse af ældre og gamle. For tiden studerer han vold, forbrydelse, overgreb og frygt som problem for ældre mennesker.

Constructing Crime against the Elderly in Swedish Crime Prevention Campaigns
- 2003
-
In: Journal of Scandinavian Studies in Criminology and Crime Prevention. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1404-3858 .- 1651-2340. ; 4:2, s. 180-203
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The study investigates how crime prevention activities frame the problem of crime against the elderly, regarding character, causes, effects and solutions. Data was collected through participant observations, interviews and analysis of a film produced by a local crime prevention council in Sweden. It is concluded that crime prevention for seniors produces complex and contradicting images of the problem. In situational crime prevention seniors are warned to look out for strangers stalking them or trying to access their homes. Statements that victimization is uncommon among the old are combined with warnings that invoke images of mysterious ever-present perpetrators. In social crime prevention, where causes and interventions of crime are discussed, crime prevention officers link the problem to established social problems such as drug abuse and juvenile delinquency. This way of framing the problem is typical for a Swedish Social Democratic perspective, where lack of community and integration are defined as causes of social problems. It is concluded that warnings to look out for strangers who ask for help may be at odds with this striving towards community.

Det moderna åldrandet : Pensionärsorganisationernas bilder av åldrandet 1941-1995
- 2001
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The aim of the dissertation is to describe images of old age in the magazines of Sweden’s two largest pensioner organizations, and explain the character of those images in relation to the temporal contexts of the organizations and their aim to act as the representatives of pensioners. The study is based on the 329 and 330 magazines (1941–1995) that the organizations have submitted to attract members and spread political messages. As an analytical tool, interpretive frames are used to highlight and compare the organizations’ characteristic ways of describing old people and their position in society. These frames have constituted coherent perspectives that has made it possible for the two organizations to reach different conclusions on how to act in the best interest of old people. The characteristics of the three periods – the poverty period, the welfare-state period and the re-evaluation period – are used to put interpretive frames and old-age images into a context of conditions, reflecting development and change in the society surrounding the organizations. It is concluded that the interpretive frames of the organizations have been linked to competing ideological beliefs about the development of society, as well as scientific discourses on health and aging. As a common trait, the organizations have produced and used two problem-oriented discourses. A discourse of risk-resource has juxtaposed images of old age by focusing on risks of old people becoming burdens to society, in opposition to the possibilities of their contributions as resources. A discourse of victim-resistance has highlighted victimization and injustices, which the organizations and old people themselves have provided resistance against. In the final analysis, the organizations are understood as social movements that have to produce images of risk and injustice in order to mobilize members for collective action and make claims for social change. Without a problem-oriented perspective the ability to create a shared identity of old people would be obstructed, and the organizations’ legitimacy as representatives of old people could be questioned.
