The “Experience” of Aging

Abstract

This article examines aging using the calendar/journal of an 87-year-old man, a former human resources employee, which he started while living in his own home and continued after moving to a retirement home. Beginning with a critique of approaches to the aging experience, the article analyzes the informant’s writing by resituating it in its social context and relating it to the research situation, in order to understand elderly people’s leeway in relation to the frameworks that encompass them.
