Los 12 trabajos expuestos en este volumen evidencian tres aspectos en el estudio de la vejez: (a) la diversidad temática que se vincula al estudio de esta etapa de vida, (b) las posibilidades metodológicas disponibles para estudiar esta etapa y proceso de vida, y (c) el desafío tanto académico como social que enfrentamos para dar respuesta a las demandas que impone dignificar al envejecimiento y a la vejez. Para comprender el mundo, para entender las desigualdades sociales o para reconocer al otro, se requiere develar nuevos significados y en el caso específico de la vejez y del envejecimiento, se necesita generar significantes que promuevan concepciones innovadoras tanto de la etapa de vida (vejez), como del proceso (envejecimiento) de ser, hacerse y vivirse como persona mayor. En congruencia, uno de los retos que enfrentan dichas personas al considerar los duelos por los que trascurren, las identidades que asumen y los significados que otorgan a las vivencias que experimentan, es el de encontrar el sentido de trascendencia.

This book offers a radical critique of mainstream, Marxist and feminist economic theories, ranging from the classical liberal economics of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the feminist debates about domestic labour and patriarchy in the late twentieth century. It explores the increasing importance of household care relations, especially childcare, in shaping the domestic labour process. Trends in household gender relations and working patterns in Britain are explored in the context of political ideas and policies regarding the state, the economy, gender and care.
