老いのリアリティに文学的想像力はいかに迫るか？21世紀初頭に急展開した文学・文化研究と加齢研究が交差する学際的フィールドの最前線の風景へと案内する、初のハンドブック。迫桂・慶應義塾大学教授らによる寄稿「児童絵本に見る間世代性、年齢と環境」を含む。This handbook offers a comprehensive survey of the growing field of literary age studies and points to new directions in scholarly research. Divided into four sections, the volume reflects the current conversations in the field: intersections and intersectionalities, traveling concepts, methodological innovations, and archival inquiries. It encompasses the spectrum of critical approaches that literary age studies scholars employ, from environmental studies and postcolonial theory to critical race theory and queer studies.
