Abstract (sommario):
Abstract The meaning of home for queer people have been widely empirically explored as well as theorized. Not least has the home been important for the older generations of queer people, who lived in times where their sexualities and gender identities have been criminalized, pathologized and where there have been few public meeting places historically. However, having care needs may blur the lines between private and public and complicate notions of integrity in one’s home. This paper is based on qualitative interviews and aims to explore experiences of LGBTQ people in a Swedish context who have eldercare services; either people who have home-care-services or who are living in care homes. A queer theoretical framework and thematic analysis was used. The results illustrate how there is a silence around gender and sexuality in the everyday life within eldercare. This in turn is caused by material conditions where downsizing and effectivization of the eldercare has created pressed working conditions that leaves little room for small talk between staff and recipients of care. Norms on age, gender, and sexuality with notions on older people as asexual (as well as cisgender and straight) may play into this silence as well. The boundaries between the private (home) and the public (eldercare) become blurred. This in turn conditions which intimacy practices that become im/possible. Simultaneously, there is a presence of queer resistance as well as of longings for other (queer) futures.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract Associated with disaster metaphors such as floods, avalanches, tsunamis, and icebergs, older people have come to take the symbolic form of the environmental impacts they are imagined causing. Yet even as older people are posited as the cause and imaginatively take the shape of the disaster, they are also registered as especially vulnerable to the effects of rising temperatures and extreme weather. While the tendency toward blame and care are not logically incompatible, this tension has resulted in a cultural narrative that fuels a deep sense of unfairness across generations. This article reads the sterility dystopia—a subgenre of science fiction where a global inability to have children results in aging populations and societal collapse—as registering the anxiety that arises at the intersection of age and the environment. Taking The Children of Men as a case study, I suggest that P. D. James's novel expresses the demographic dread arising from the relative shift in younger and older populations—not of a world lacking children, as we might expect, but of one catastrophized by the overabundance of the old and aging. Pushing against the link between climate activism and generational futurity, I draw on queer theory to argue that intergenerational kinship in the present privileges the values of affiliation, contingency, and immediacy that can inspire a more sustainable future.

Abstract (sommario):
This study takes its starting point in the Swedish context to explore experiences of community among older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) adults. Using life story interviews with 33 self-identified LGBTQ older adults between the ages of 59 to 94 years, our aim is to explore meanings of community, belonging, and subcultural spaces at different times and in different ages. How are narratives of finding, entering, and creating subcultural spaces described, and how does time and geographical context play into these experiences in particular? What is it like to age within these communities and to enter these queer spaces later in life? This analysis illustrates how old age can be a disadvantage for entering or participating in queer subcultures, especially when it comes to dating, but the results also point to how old age can be something adding to one’s social capital within these subcultures. Further, results suggest that it is important to take social, cultural, and economic resources into account when analyzing community and relationships among older LGBTQ people.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract Halberstam describes the queer art of failure as a performance of dissidence in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer plus (LGBTQ+) people willing reject traditional conceptualizations of success. Yet, dominant theoretical frameworks in gerontology are predicated upon notions of success and productivity which may be problematic for understanding the life trajectories of LGBTQ+ people. The use of such heteronormative frameworks has implications for gerontological research in two important ways: 1) Research methods and researchers themselves may be constrained by the normative expectations placed on LGBTQ+ people and 2) Heteronormative frameworks obscure the nuance of LGBTQ+ older adults’ lived experiences and may limit important contributions to gerontological knowledge. This symposium applies the queer art of failure to examine LGBTQ+ aging scholarship that deviates from traditional research and education. Speaker one shares experiences from LGBTQ+ individuals facing dementia, using concepts that counter framing dementia as pathology and decline. Speaker two discusses how participants’ preferences for receiving research results via found poetry may reflect LGBTQ+ participants’ natural inclination to question hegemonic norms. Speaker three describes collaborating with a coalition of LGBTQ+ older adults of color on a participatory action research study, detailing how epistemic tensions shaped the research in unexpected ways. Speaker four discusses how institutional failure led to enthusiasm for LGBTQ+ curriculum development, student mentoring, and knowledge production. These presentations suggest that the inclusion of diverse conceptualizations of success and productivity should inform future aging scholarship, as they may center the experiences of historically marginalized populations such as LGBTQ+ older adults.

Abstract (sommario):
Research suggests health, social care, and social work professionals who are highly religious, and adhere closely to traditional doctrine, are more likely to take a negative view of LGBTQ people. This includes those who provide services to older people. Negative attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and/or queer (LGBTQ) people can translate into poor care and even abuse. This commentary discusses recent literature on older LGBTQ people’s experiences of religious abuse. It highlights the concerns among many older LGBTQ people about care from religious based providers where religion becomes a factor leading to abuse, associated with microaggressions, psychological abuse, harassment, discriminatory abuse, neglect, and poor care. Even though only a minority of religious care providers may hold negative attitudes towards LGBTQ people, and even fewer may allow this to inform poor/abusive practice, this is nonetheless an area of concern and merits further investigation. All care providers, including those with strongly held religious beliefs, should deliver equally good, affirmative, non-abusive care to older LGBTQ people, and to LGBTQ people of all ages.<strong>Key words</strong>LGBTQ; religious care providers; abuse; adult protection; equality and human rights; law

Abstract (sommario):
Purpose This paper is a conceptual discussion of the ways in which the diverse lives, identities and collective politics of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people can be made visible, and how they are made visible, in long-term care environments for older people. The purpose of this paper is to problematise strategies of visibility as methods for promoting social inclusion in care environments. Design/methodology/approach This is a conceptual discussion that draws on several social theorists that have previously discussed the politics of visibility, knowledge and sexuality. Findings Promoting increased visibility in itself does not fully grapple with the ways in which older LGB can be represented and known as particular kinds of sexual citizens. This potentially curtails a more holistic recognition of their needs, interests and wishes, inclusive of their sexual lives and histories. Making LGB lives visible in care environments may not always be a productive or affirmative strategy for dismantling homophobic views and beliefs. Practical implications The theoretical implications of a politics of visibility warrant a deeper consideration of strategies for promoting visibility. The paper concludes with a discussion of some of the practical implications for rethinking strategies of visibility in care environments. Originality/value Critical discussions about the application of visibility strategies, and the problematic assumptions contained within such strategies, are lacking in relation to mainstream housing and social care provision for older LGB people. This paper seeks to initiate this important discussion.

Abstract (sommario):
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) communities have faced a history of discriminatory incidents with deleterious effects on mental health and wellness. Compounded with other historically marginalized identities, LGBTQ+ people of color continue to experience disenfranchisement, inequities, and invisibility, leading to complex experiences of oppression and resilience. Moving into later stages of life span development, older adults of color in LGBTQ+ communities navigate unique nuances within their transitions. The article addresses the following goals to connect relational–cultural theory (RCT) as a relevant theoretical framework for counseling with older LGBTQ+ adults of color: (a) explication of conceptual and empirical research related to older LGBTQ+ adults of color; (b) outline of key principles involved in the RCT approach; and (c) RCT applications in practice and research for older LGBTQ+ adults of color.

Abstract (sommario):
Canada has a unique socio-political history concerning the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people. With aging populations, understanding diverse groups of older adults is paramount. We completed a systematic search and scoping review of research in Canada to quantify and articulate the scale and scope of research on LGBTQ+ aging. Our search identified over 4000 results and, after screening for relevance, our review focused on 70 articles. Five major themes in the literature on LGBTQ+ aging in Canada were identified: (1) risk, (2) HIV, (3) stigma, and discrimination as barriers to care, (4) navigating care and identity, (5) documenting the history and changing policy landscapes. Most of the articles were not focused on the aging, yet the findings are relevant when considering the lived experiences of current older adults within LGBTQ+ communities. Advancing the evidence on LGBTQ+ aging involves improving the quality of life and aging experiences for LGBTQ+ older adults through research.

Abstract (sommario):
Background and Rationale: The Compassionate Communities movement emphasizes the importance of illness, disability, dying, caregiving, and grief across the lifespan and highlights the communal responsibility of caring for one another. There is a need to recognize and incorporate the needs of diverse communities within this movement and research on dying, caregiving and grief. An important axis of this diversity is related to individuals’ sexual orientation and gender identity. Methods: As part of the early phases of Healthy End of Life Project Ottawa, a Compassionate Communities, community-based, participatory action research project, we held focus groups with older members of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and two-spirit communities. Nine older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and two-spirit people participated in the focus groups (mean age = 72 years). Data were analysed using an inductive, reflexive thematic approach. Results: Through an iterative analysis process, we identified themes related to lifecourse experiences of trauma, the need for safety within care contexts, the importance of relationships and connection, as well as participants’ ability to ask for and receive help. A core tenet of Compassionate Communities involves responding to the needs of diverse communities with respect to aging, end-of-life, and grief. Our findings emphasize the importance of incorporating the voices of diverse sexual and gender identities and promoting health equity within Compassionate Community initiatives.

Abstract (sommario):
Death in today’s world is sometimes centre stage and sometimes scarcely visible at all. The emotional mapping of dying, death, funerals, memory, and grief embraces much diversity as personal choice engages with patterns of tradition and increasing commercial options. Old people’s homes offer respite while prompting anxiety over being forgotten while on the route to death, older old age is not always seen as a blessing. Increasing academic and popular interest in mortality witnesses the rise of death studies, drawing from many academic disciplines, as reflected in this book’s insightful work of anthropologists, sociologists, historians, theologians and literary scholars. These highlight the ritual and symbolism of funerals, memorials, sex, gender, and queer issues while also capturing key aspects of belief, law, and ethics. Literature, too, is not forgotten. Traditional and woodland burials, cremation and its ashes, the freezing of the dead, and innovative forms of alkaline hydrolysis of bodies all play their part in contemporary wishes. But other pressured circumstances of migration, pandemics, war, terrorism, and most especially of global warming and climate change affect the energy, chemistry, and land used for the dead: death is now an ecological and environmental challenge. Yet, some long to live long while others seek death when assailed by serious illness, sometimes feeling betrayed by healthcare systems forbidding euthanasia. Many kinds of words against death accompany all these situations, not least as the quiet grief of families and friends touches our identity or even our destiny.

Abstract The Tuesday following the Orlando shooting I walked into my psychotherapy group and was greeted with tears and silence. This was the LGBT Group for Veterans, run by myself and another co-leader at a VA hospital on the East Coast. Most members didn’t know what to say and many were openly crying. “Shocked,” “sad,” and “fear” were just a few words these veterans used to describe their feelings. Throughout the hour, my patients expressed strong reactions to Orlando, remembering their own experiences of being stigmatized and even assaulted within the military for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Our discussion also touched on racial dynamics, both within Orlando and the group itself. A few of the older veterans in my group, who had come out later in life, were not aware about safe spaces for LGBT people of color, such as the dance club where the shooting took place; these men appreciated learning from other members in the group about why such spaces were important. This particular group was populated with four gay men, two lesbians, a transgender man, and two transgender women. While not a veteran, I am queer, gender-nonconforming, and disabled—identities about which I talk openly in the

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter discusses how the monarchy was figured in arguments about imperial federation. First, it was argued that the august institution of the monarchy could act as a marker of stability and constitutional fidelity in a globe-spanning imperial polity, thus reassuring skeptics that a strong thread of historical continuity ran through proposals for uniting Britain and the settler colonies. Second, an idealized representation of Queen Victoria served as an anchor for national identity across vast geographical distances, her popularity binding the far-flung peoples of her realm in close communion. Or so it was claimed. The chapter also contends that the way in which she was often represented in imperial debate echoed an older civic humanist language of “patriot kingship,” a fantasy vision of the monarch as the enemy of corruption, the protector of the people, and the strong but benevolent leader of a dynamic commercial people.

Abstract (sommario):
Chapter 11 describes a new approach to adherence. Earlier chapters have examined the various forms of work that social movements do and asked whether and when such work can be pursued conjointly, by adherents as well as constituents. Chapter 11 reverses the question and looks beyond the answers so far given. It asks: what else would the work have to be, in order for it to be possible for adherents and constituents to pursue it conjointly? It defines a sixth approach, beyond the five already discussed in chapter 10—which it terms “becoming- work,” drawing on the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. It assesses the implication of becoming- work for the older dilemmas of adherence and describes some contemporary and emerging examples of the approach in alter-globalization politics and queer theory.

This chapter explores the impact of the intersections of ageing and physical disability on older people’s sexual and intimate lives. It reviews the shift in conceptual framings of physical disability from notions of impairment through to Crip/queer critiques. This shift reflects a movement from a focus on the particularity of an individual’s ‘normal’ capabilities to a critical deconstruction of the power of ‘norms’ and the pathologies and prejudices that constitute disability. It then surveys some of the emergent studies and scholarship that both describe discourses of desexualisation and set the beginnings of the agenda for their reversal

Abstract The small is great, when it is natural—fluent and lightly scored and solid in its composition. To compose like that is more difficult than to write all the artificial harmonic progressions incomprehensible to most people, and melodies difficult to perform. Did Bach lower himself by this? Never! Good writing and the ordering of things, il filo [the thread]—this distinguishes the master from the bungler, even in trifles.1 Leopold was seeking to influence his son by invoking a name that the younger Mozart held in high esteem. “Bach,” however, meant Johann Christian Bach (1735–1782), Italian trained, Catholic like the Mozarts, and master of music to Queen Charlotte of England. And though Mozart did eventually acquaint himself with some music by Bach’s less well known older brother (C. P. E.) and deceased father (J. S.), he always viewed the Bach who had written operas for Naples as the great model, the man whose style he worked to emulate more assiduously than any other during his early years.

Abstract (sommario):
Folklore is the traditional beliefs, stories, and customs of a group of people. Folktale is a folklore genre that typically consists of a story passed down from generation to generations orally. The Assamese Folktales doesn’t only describe about the women’s sufferings, competition among women but it also describes the women’s kindness, courage and cleverness. In most of the Folktales from Assam women are portrayed as women’s biggest foe. In most the stories Assamese Folktales, older jealous wives of a male leads are portrayed as the villain, trying to harm the young, innocent, beautiful new wife. The husband is never questioned for marrying a young women and treating his women simply as objects of possession. In the story ‘Tejimola’, the step mother is portrayed as an extremely cruel villain to torture and kill her step daughter Tejimola, propelled jealousy and ill will. In the story ‘Kata Jao Nak, Kharani di Dhak’, it describes about a young wife, princess who has exceptional courage. A thief, having deceived the queen, took the princess away and was preparing to get married to her but she succeeds to save herself and cut off the thief’s nose. In the story ‘Burha Burhi Aru Shiyal’, it describes about a clever, courageous old women character, who was capable of wriggling out of trying situation or of outwitting the enemy. In this paper we will discuss about the different characteristics, portrayal of women in the Assamese folktales, from the collection of Folktales ‘Burhi Aair Sadhu’ by Lakshminath Bezbaruah and the perception of the readers for woman.

Abstract (sommario):
Three types of blood cells exist in the human body: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, in addition to plasma, which takes up 55 percent of the blood’s volume. Red blood cells take up approximately 45 percent of the blood’s volume. They transport oxygen from the lungs to other body parts. White cells defend us against bacterial and viral invasions. Platelets (less than 1 percent of the blood), the third type of blood cells, are sticky little cell fragments that are involved in helping the blood clot, a process known as coagulation. Without platelets (even though they constitute less than 1 percent of blood), our blood would not be able to clot, and we would have uncontrolled bleeding. However, formation of blood clots is a double-edged sword. Clots are beneficial because they heal cuts and wounds; blood clots in the bloodstream are harmful because they block coronary arteries, constrict vital oxygen supplies, and cause heart attacks and strokes, more and more frequent modern maladies as the baby boomers get older. Whenever the body is cut or injured and blood comes into contact with cells outside the bloodstream, a tissue factor on these cells encounters a particular protein within the blood, which triggers the clotting process. In the same vein, a series of other blood factors then come into action and amplify one another to quickly form a jelly-like blood clot. Blood clots form when an enzyme called thrombin marshals fibrin (a blood protein) and platelets (tiny cells that circulate in the blood) to coagulate at the site of an injury. Individuals with no ability to clot have a genetic condition called hemophilia; such people are also known as “bleeders.” Queen Victoria was hemophilic, and she passed on her genes to her many heirs who ruled Europe for over a century. This is why hemophilia is sometimes known as the royal disease. Symptoms of hemophilia manifest only in male offspring. People with hemophilia must periodically administer a clotting factor to their blood to prevent constant bleeding.
