Ageing with Smartphones in Urban Chile: The Experience of Peruvian Migrants Otaegui Alfonso
An anthropological account of the experience of aging among Peruvian migrants to Chile in the smartphone era.What does it mean to be aging in Chile as a migrant? Their lives, we discover, are informed by a series of experiences of being 'in between'. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, Ageing with Smartphones in Urban Chile analyzes the experience of aging for Peruvian migrants aged around sixty who have lived in Chile for more than twenty years.
By focusing on the entanglement of aging, migration, and technology, this book is an ethnographic contribution to an unexplored subject in the vast literature on migration studies in Chile. They live between two countries, two generations, and two different stages in life, between giving care and not wanting care, and between a continuing legacy and not transmitting legacy.
