This volume provides an essential analysis of older adults and representations of ageing in Asia. The collection focuses on increasing age disparities in many Asian societies, the ways in which they are represented historically and into the new millennium in Asian and global multimedia, and the effects such changes have on the societies in which they are taking place. Featuring texts and visual content from and about the Asian diaspora, Bangladesh, China, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam, Volume I of this collection pays particular attention to the manifest ways in which age and national concerns and directives are linked, to the social and economic effects for super-ageing societies, to gender considerations in the representation of older adults, and to the ramifications of changing perceptions of ageing and older adults for future generations. How have traditional perceptions and contemporary transitions been represented, encouraged, or resisted in the multiple platforms of media, from film, literature, and digital streaming services to gaming, graphic fiction, news websites, print media, and advertising? Individually and collectively, these essays examine current perceptions of older adults in an Asian context and the directions that these may take into the 21st century.
