ABSTRACT
Race, class, gender, and sexuality have been at the center of artistic production and criticism for decades, whereas the signicance of age as a category of identity and dierence has been slower to gain widespread recognition. In 2004, Margaret Morganroth Gullee made the case that aging is a cultural as well as a biological phenomenon; Gullee has identied the cultural assumptions that unconsciously structure aitudes about aging as “age ideology” (2004, 28).
