Framed throughout as 'gerontological hygeine', this book examines contemporary regimes, strategies and treatment protocols deployed throughout Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The book deploys critical cultural theories such as biopolitics, somatechnics, ethics, and governmentality to examine how anti-aging technologies operate to problematise the aging body as always-already diseased, and how these come to constitute a movement of abolition, named here as 'gerontological hygiene'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David-Jack Fletcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811600120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811600128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.81d","brand":"David-Jack Fletcher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993623265535,"sku":"9789811600128","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d0a0250-185c-417e-bf3e-8c7fb0eb6de1.jpg?v=1683325373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/age-as-disease-david-jack-fletcher-9789811600128","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
