[ecrea] New Special Journal Section: “Ageing in a Networking Society”

Ageing in a Network Society


The Networking Knowledge: Journal of the MeCCSA Postgraduate Network 
publishes a Special Section on Ageing in a Network Society.

This special issue aims to explore the role of ICTs in encouraging the 
development of networked older adults. Specifically, the following 
papers give a noteworthy contribution to the challenges posed by an 
increasingly ageing and networked society. This special issue is edited 
by colleagues whose disciplines are not naturally symbiotic – one from 
Information and Communication studies and the other from Ageing studies. 
As such, this special issue posed an interesting set of challenges for 
the editors as they explored their shared understandings of what it 
means to grow old or be old in a network society. The editors would 
therefore like to thank the authors for their receptiveness to ageing 
studies theory and for challenging their own assumptions about what it 
means to be old. This special issue acts, in some ways, as a stepping 
stone or a bridge between more information technological based notions 
of what it is to grow older and cultural gerontological constructions of 
older age.
