Die alte Frau in der modernen Unterhaltungsliteratur
Eine literatursoziologische Analyse
Tectum, 1. Edition 2023, 172 Pages
Description
How are older female characters portrayed in popular literature of the last 20 years? What goals and dreams do they have? What challenges do they have to overcome and how do they do it?
In the light novels selected by historian and sociologist Birgit Panke-Kochinke, numerous ways are shown to meet the challenges of growing older and to lead a fulfilled life. Eccentric, unconventional, self-determined and freedom-loving – despite all the signs of old age and strokes of fate – this image of older women is transported in the genre-specific entertainment novels of the present. But what significance does this fictional world view have for the real-life approach to ageing?
