摘要 本文探讨了弹性概念在批判老年学领域的实用性。复原力是社会科学中越来越流行的概念。我们探索了来自不同领域的关于个人和社会复原力的一些关键想法，并提出了新的方法来概念化这些与晚年生活复原力相关的概念。本文探讨了复原力概念的历史；探索老年学家试图将其应用于晚年生活的一些不同方式；并讨论了在关键老龄化研究中使用复原力作为概念框架的优点和缺点。我们还提出了概念化复原力和老龄化的方法，强调了影响老年人应对逆境能力的不同程度的复原力，以及与晚年生活相关的复原力的一些关键领域。流动弹性的例子用于说明不同规模的弹性如何在对老龄化体验至关重要的弹性区域内发挥作用。最后，概述了在批判老年学中使用复原力的一些关键原则，为如何最大限度地发挥该概念的潜力提供指导，同时避免与其历史使用相关的一些限制。
ABSTRACT This article examines the utility of the concept of resilience to the field of critical gerontology. Resilience is an increasingly popular concept within the social sciences. We explore some key ideas about individual and social resilience from varied fields, and propose new ways to conceptualise these in relation to resilience in later life. This article examines the history of the concept of resilience; explores some of the diverse ways that gerontologists are attempting to apply it to later life; and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of using resilience as a conceptual framework within critical ageing research. We also suggest ways of conceptualising resilience and ageing, highlighting the different scales of resilience that impact on the ability of older people to negotiate adversity, and some key areas of resilience relevant to later life. The example of mobility resilience is used to illustrate how different scales of resilience operate within an area of resilience central to the ageing experience. Finally, some key principles for the use of resilience within critical gerontology are outlined, providing guidance on how to maximise the potential of the concept whilst avoiding some of the limitations associated with its historical usage.
