Leisure in old age - disciplinary practices surrounding the discourse of active ageing
Original language description
The aim of this article was to map how the idea of active ageing is constructed and the implications it presents with regard to the way in which seniors relate to their experience of old age. It concentrates on a specific segment of senior-oriented social services that represent an institutional context for the manifestation of the discourse of AA. A three year ethnographic study was conducted in two such centres in the Czech Republic. The article focuses on various strategies for the disciplining of the ageing body. It points out that these disciplinary practices are an integral part of the daily running of the centres and that the seniors who intensively engage in them have internalized the idea of an active lifestyle as the most desirable lifestylein old age. At the same time, the article outlines how the idea of active ageing as the "correct" form of ageing influences the self-conception of these seniors and their attitudes towards ageing and their peers.
