本期的编辑介绍分为四个部分。我们首先概述了人文地理学中对老龄化和晚年更加持续关注的五个原因，然后讨论了对老龄化和晚年生活进行地理学研究的两个主要挑战。其中之一是以集中关注其社会/文化方面及其生物/生理维度的方式来检查体现；另一个问题涉及从各个方面考虑时间或更确切地说时空性的挑战。对于后者，我们认为生命历程概念在这方面可能会有所帮助，特别是如果我们关注转变以及缓慢的、难以识别的变化形式，并且如果生命历程是从褶皱的角度来理解的话。从这些角度进行思考开辟了一种视角，根据这种视角，衰老和空间可以被分析为相互交织的生成。最后，我们根据本文提出的观点来定位本期的贡献。 (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This editorial introduction to the themed issue is divided into four parts. We begin with outlining five reasons for more sustained attention to ageing and old age in human geography and go onto discuss two major challenges for geographical inquiry into ageing and later life. One of these is examining embodiment in ways that keep both its social/cultural aspects and its biological/physiological dimensions in sharp focus; the other concerns the challenge of considering time, or rather spatiotemporality, in all its facets. With regard to the latter we argue that the life-course concept can be helpful in this regard, especially if attention is paid to transitions as well as to slow, difficult-to-identify forms of change and if life-courses are understood in terms of folds. Thinking in these terms opens up a perspective according to which ageing and space can be analysed as entwined becomings. We conclude by positioning the contributions in this issue vis-a-vis the perspective developed in this piece. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
