(Re)constructing the aging body: Western medical cultures and gender 1600 – 2000

Sep 26, 2008 - Sep 28, 2008,
Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz Mainz, Rhineland-Palatinate Germany

With an ever growing proportion of elderly people in many Western societies and modern medicine promising to prolong life and well-being, the aging body has become an increasingly common image in current society. ‘Anti-aging’ has developed into a popular movement for promoting activity, mobility and life-style choice instead of conventionally held stereotypes of decline and decrepitude. Current theoretical contributions argue that the aging body cannot completely be reduced to culture and stand up for a materialistic deconstructionist perspective considering the elderly’s experiences and the interaction of mind, body and society. It is the meaning attached to gendered aging bodies by medical cultures that needs further investigation.

We welcome colleagues from a variety of disciplines who are willing to discuss cross-disciplinary angles focussing on the meanings attached to, the knowledge produced of, and the processes inherent to gendered aging bodies in the past and in contemporary Western societies.

Incremental progress to improve the quality of care is possible and some is occurring, but incremental changes will not address the problems plaguing the US health care system. New systems of care delivery are needed—systems that support learning from practice and align incentives to improve safety, effectiveness, resource efficiency, timeliness, and equity—for the individual patient and the population. It is time to envision and implement new systems of care delivery.

The Health Care Systems of the Future conference will address innovations in health care quality measures, paradigms to align incentives for better health care delivery, illustrations of technology in breast cancer and other areas that promise to improve efficiency and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions, and visions of health care systems for the next century. Join us to begin to create action plans for a new system of health care delivery.

- Business organizations report to shareholders and stakeholders on their investments and overall performance
- NGOs report to their constituents and beneficiaries, as well as public and private donors on the results of their work.

After an extremely successful 25th anniversary festival weekend last year, we look forward to a fantastic event this September. Once again the world’s top chefs and fine wine and spirit purveyors will join in celebrating the 26th year of the American Wine & Food Festival.

On September 27, 2008, a line up of today’s most prominent chefs will converge upon Universal Studios in Los Angeles for a culinary celebration at the American Wine & Food Festival. A star-studded gathering of internationally celebrated chefs and fine wine and spirit purveyors will serve in honor of the occasion.

The American Wine & Food Festival is open to the public and features live music, a silent auction and an epicurean feast prepared by an array of the world’s greatest chefs.
