Creativity in Later Life
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-29379-3 (ISBN)
Creativity in Later Life encompasses a range of personal reflections and discussions of the boundaries of creativity, including:
Canonical artistic achievements to community art projects
Narratives of carers for those living with dementia
Analyses of creative theory
Through these insightful chapters, the authors consequently offer an understanding of creativity in later life as varied, socialised and - above all - located in the cultural and economic circumstances of the here and now.
This title will appeal to academics, practitioners and students in the various gerontological, arts and humanities fields; and to anyone with an interest in the nature of creativity in later life and the forms it takes.
