The Art of Ageing: Textualising the Phases of Life

Ageing is a total topic because everything is influenced by the passing of time. Even though mathematics rejects the notion of this phenomenon, human consciousness perceives ageing as a consequence of it. Through poetry, theatre and prose, this work reveals the meaning and complexity of our perception of ageing. As a consequence, the articles that shape this book are eminently eclectic and reveal the thoughts of poets, singers, writers, literary critics, psychologists, sociologists and anthropologists.
