abstract |
From the early 1990s, the study of men and masculinities and the spatiality of their
identities, has established itself as a significant subfield of critical social geographies.
At the same time, geographies of childhood and youth, and to a much lesser extent
old age identities, have emerged and become intersected. Recently, it has been suggested
that these studies of social markers of difference have reached a critical mass (Hopkins
2008). Upon further exploration however, it is evident that together these literatures
have focused more on childhood and young men, neglecting older and ageing men. Curiously,
there are few literatures that connect old age and men and masculinities from a spatial
perspective. This is not only reflected in social geography literatures but across
the social sciences. In this article, I briefly review the subfields of masculinities
and age, both within the discipline of geography and elsewhere, and seek to join the
currently disconnected literatures to identify older men’s age identities as an absent
presence in geography. I argue that this will contribute to the maturation of the
current literatures of men and masculinities and enhance theoretical understandings
of men’s power, both in critical social geographies and beyond. |
