Deskripsi

<p><em>This study aims to investigate the bodily practices of the elderly in the beach environment as contemporary experience of aging through ethnographic research. The results indicate that the image of the elderly at the beach reaches a multifaceted state because it has not radically different bodily practices adopted by young people, or configured as fully equivalent to those of old, thus bringing new focus on the elderly in the contemporary era.</em></p> <p> </p>
