Mapping Modern Rejuvenation
2020
Overview
The desire to conquer old age is as old as humanity itself, yet the pursuit of youthfulness acquired a fiercer urgency with the rise of post-Enlightenment conceptions of youth as a redemptive social force. This introductory essay widens the circle of what constitutes modern rejuvenation by moving beyond the standard focus on anti-aging medicine and lays out the historiographical and methodological stakes of conceptualizing rejuvenation more broadly. Its main contention is that rejuvenation can serve as an analytical linchpin to reveal unrecognized connections between various historically specific projects of regeneration and repair that were comprised in individual flesh-and-blood as well as in imagined collective bodies such as nations and empires.
