Resexualisation of Older Lesbian and Gay Subjects in Film: an Analysis of ‘Cloudburst’ and ‘Gerontophilia’
No full textOlder people’s sexuality is largely pathologised and framed more in terms of constraint or desexualisation and rarely in terms of pleasure. Given the paucity of literature addressing how older people can resexualise themselves to claim a valid sexual citizenship, this chapter analyses two independent Canadian films, Cloudburst and Gerontophilia to explore the possibilities for the normalisation of old lesbian-identified women (Cloudburst) and gay men (Gerontophilia) as legitimate sexual beings. We argue that resexualisation in both films is achieved through thought and practices open to older lesbian and gay people that challenge desexualisation, subvert stereotypes of sexlessness and involve ways of looking that enable ‘seeing’ of the allure and value of older lesbian and gay selves. Such depictions hold out hope for lesbians and gay men who can report feeling desexualised earlier in life compared to their heterosexual peers
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Sex and intimacy in later life : a survey of the terrain
Full text linkShakespeare's Sonnet 73 suggests a recognition of finality, mortality and the changes that ageing brings, with a plea for love (and respect?) from those who are younger, through the certain knowledge that they will miss those who are ageing when they pass, and will experience ageing and its vicissitudes themselves. This is ageing as natural cycle and self-aware progression through the life course. It appeals to naturalized and normalized contours of the process of ageing, which are 'coloured in' by cultural representations of how we are seen to age. Older people should 'grow old gracefully', both experience and express that 'slow journey into the twilight of their lives'
Final reflections : themes on sex and intimacy in later life
Full text linkThis volume was curated to launch the book series Sex and Intimacy in Later Life and aims to provide a coherent, critical overview of scholarship focused on the identitarian and intersectional experience of the age, sex and sexuality. As identified in the chapter introducing this collection, it forms part of a broader intellectual project that aims to put sex back into sexuality. With such considerations in mind, we wanted to produce a text that demonstrates that this emerging field of knowledge (covering a relatively neglected set of cross-cutting concerns) contains some vibrant scholarship and is starting to set an agenda for research. Our hope is that such an agenda can be articulated into policy and practice that, in time, could help validate, support and enrich the sexual and intimate lives of older people
