健康和福利已经成为当代西方社会中老年人身份合法化和定位的关键工具。健康和福利都包含特定但不断变化的技术，这些技术的作用是调解老年人与国家之间的关系。医疗技术和护理管理话语已被提出为增加选择和减少与成人老龄化相关的限制。然而，它们也代表了对老年生活方式的职业控制的增加，因此，与生命过程的这一部分有关的更广泛的社会意义。本文基于对米歇尔·福柯作品的批判性阅读进行了理论分析;确定了管理者和老年人在权力、监督和正常化方面的相互关系;并强调了老年人如何以及为什么仍然是合法化的主题专业目光。
Health and welfare have emerged as key vehicles used to legitimize and position the identities that older people adopt in contemporary western societies. Both health and welfare contain specific yet continually changing technologies that function to mediate relations between older people and the state. Medico-technical and care management discourses have been presented as adding choice and reducing limitations associated with adult aging. However, they also represent an increase in professional control that can be exerted on lifestyles in older age and thus, the wider social meanings associated with that part of the lifecourse. This article presents a theoretical analysis based on a critical reading of the work of Michel Foucault; identifies the interrelationship between managers and older people in terms of power, surveillance and normalization; and highlights how and why older people remain the subjects of legitimizing professional gazes.
