Chapter Chapter 5 in Contours of Feminist Political Ecology, 2023, pp 105-127 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we explore how applying a feminist political ecology (FPE) lens to ageing shows how ageing experiences are relational and dynamic processes of embodying everyday practices and ethics of care. We apply writings on post-capitalist community economies and rupturist gerontology and FPE intersectional thinking and link them to two studies of ageing in Japan and Uruguay. We analyse ageing as part of dynamic socionatural relations and the ethics of care including the agentic roles played by miso, machines, fungus, climate, and politics. Our chapter shows how the role played by socionatural relations in ageing experiences demands more careful attention.
