Doctorate Programme in Education, Society and Quality of Life

The Department of English and Linguistics participates in the following research lines of the Doctorate Programme in Education, Society and Quality of Life:

 

Age, Creativity and Quality of Life

 

This research line belongs to the Age Studies, more precisely, Aging Studies and it is related with the Life Course Studies. As part of this frames of research, and directly related with gerontology studies and cultural studies, this research line promotes research in cultural representations of any age and stage of life in either literature, cinema, theatre, television or arts in general. Research in Age Studies, combats ageism and any other form of marginalization and stereotyping related with different ages and vital stages. At the same time, it tries to promote intersectional studies of age where the interaction between, age, gender, social classes, sexuality and other features of identity are analysed. In this research frame, art is regarded as a reflection and a source of influence for the cultural construction of age and the ageing process. Moreover, it recognizes the artistic outcome and general creation as a source for life quality in any stage of the cycle of life.
