Cultural Representations of Queer Aging in SpainAuthor(s): Heather Jernimo, Raquel Medina\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032757308, 978-1032757308\nSynopsis\nThis collection examines representations of Spanish queer aging through investigations of literary and cinematic representations of this demographic, offering a showcase for research on communities often made invisible due to age and sexual identity in Spanish culture with wider implications for queer aging studies research.\n\nThe volume builds on theoretical foundations established by queer aging studies scholars and the ways in which queer aging differs from heterosexual aging, examining negative topics that arise in literature and film (such as the AIDS crisis, the silencing of queer aging individuals, and social stigmas against this group), in addition to positive topics (like the creation of communities and spaces for queer aging characters).
