summer semester 2023 | Last update: 19.12.2022 | Place course on memo listCurr. 2021 § 5 (1) 15: This module serves to gain in-depth knowledge in selected subject areas of sociology. The students specialise in one or more subject(s) and acquire in-depth knowledge in them.
Old age and the need for care pose challenges to individuals, families and societies. Physical and mental limitations, dependency on others or a life in institutions characterise the imaginations and fears of large parts of the population and shape the way we deal with them. Societal debates are usually based on a normative dichotomisation of dependency and autonomy, which can subsequently lead to questions about the limits of a good life. In this course we will explore the sociology of ageing, with a view on the individual as well as the societal level and with a focus on relational approaches. The following exemplary topics will be covered: Active ageing; generational relations; the 4th age; dependencies and vulnerability; dementia; care and support; dying and euthanasia; social policy measures.
