“…Physical environments are not usually a central analytical category in long-term care but rather are understood as the material culture that surrounds, shapes, and redefines experiences in these spaces (Synnes and Frank 2020;Wackers 2020). In recent years, the analysis of urban environments in what some authors call "caring cities" has increased (Gabauer 2022;Rico and Segovia 2017) while, at the microsocial level, the home and the processes that medicalize/pre-institutionalize it are perhaps the most studied family-care environment (Gusman 2018;Milligan 2005;Pasveer, Synnes, and Moser 2020). However, the collaborators in my ethnography suggested that other categories are also essential within their care trajectories in the villages; these categories underlie the interrelationship between their daily care and the natural landscape that surrounds them.…”

This article explores how older husbands’ caregiving experiences are interwoven with the social representation of ‘the village,’ understood herein as an intimate, local community that actively contributes to long-term care on a daily basis. The concepts of belonging and doing kinship form the analytical basis for illuminating this interaction between care from husbands and daily community care. I use the social representation of the imagined community both as the axis for articulating the singular experiences of care, and the construct of a village that values its collective history, local rituals, natural environment, and ordinary routines. Study data are based on ethnographic observations of the daily long-term care trajectories of five married couples in two villages and one small town in the rural Spanish Mediterranean.

“…The way we age has dramatically changed over the last few decades (see Special Issue on Aging in Europe, e.g., Bozon, Gaymu, and Lelièvre 2018;Comas-d'Argemir and Roigé 2018;Galčanová and Kafková 2018;Gusman 2018;Roigé, Soronellas-Masdeu, and Bastien-Henri 2018). This is true in the global North as well as in the global South (see Kaiser-Grolimund, this issue).…”

Aging – both the definition and the actual process of aging – has undergone fundamental local and global changes in the past decades. Various advances in technology and medicine increasingly allow senior citizens in Switzerland to ‘age successfully’ and have shifted societal expectations about what aging should include. This article looks at a group of senior citizens who encounter an increasing discrepancy between the demands fostered by the dominant discourse of ‘successful aging’ and the infrastructure made available to them. At the same time, seniors with disabilities are transfigured and come to stand for dependence, frailty, and decline because of this reconceptualization of aging. This article analyzes the cases of three senior citizens with disabilities which show the consequences of changed normative imaginaries, practices, and infrastructures on how senior citizens with disabilities experience their socialities.

“…Les relations familiales, notamment, jouent un rôle essentiel dans ces processus de transformation de l'espace domestique. »(Gusman, 2018) Un lieu pour maintenir un espoir de vie.L'espoir et le désir de rester en vie caractérisent l'élan et les investissements pulsionnels des personnes interviewées. La maison permet de garder ses habitudes, son histoire et distingue ce qui est dedans de ce qui doit rester dehors.…”
