Description
Summary:This study focuses on analyzing older women’s perceptions of how they view sex and their bodies based on the context of the digital media age. An interdisciplinary theoretical perspective is used to analyze more objectively the women’s perspectives on sex and their bodies. There are three main research questions, i.e., what are older women’s perceptions of how they view sex and their bodies in different contexts? How do they see sex and bodies in the context of subject construction theory? And how do they understand sex under the framework analysis of sexuality? This paper uses the interview method to interview 10 elderly women aged 50-80 in Guangzhou, China. Two of them were selected for representative subject case analysis. It aims to find out whether there is any change in older women’s view of sex and body in the age of digital media.
