It pronounces an alternative to the mainstream life span creativity research which has, in general, adopted a decline perspective to the fruits of old age. Amir Cohen-Shalev argues that this age-decrement approach misses what the artists themselves tried to do in old age, which is often to develop a new form that allows them to thrive on ambivalence. Against the bleak predictions of developmental psychology and folk wisdom, this book focuses on old age as a unique stage of creative activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Overview: The Late and the Potent Chapter 2 Old Age Creativity and Midlife Research Chapter 3 Freedom Still to Question: The Drama of Pierre Corneille Chapter 4 Ibsen's Choice: \"Poetic Bark\" or \"Life's Ironic Puff?\" Chapter 5 \"Tutto Nel Mondo e Burla:\" The Operas of Giuseppe Verdi Chapter 6 The Laws of Art and the Dictates of the Heart: Piet Mondrian and Samuel Beckett Chapter 7 The Life Cycle Revisited: Bergman's Two Views of Aging Chapter 8 The Enigma of Art in Old Age: In Lieu of a Theory","brand":"University Press of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037767074135,"sku":"9780761821885","price":46.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780761821885.jpg?v=1750937215","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/both-worlds-at-once-9780761821885","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
