Abstract: | This paper first looks at the discursive packaging of the holidays for the over 50s or holidays for "the 50-plus lifestyle", using a broadly critical discourse analysis framework. The dilemmas of characterizing the target group and the holidays in these texts are examined and linked with the notions of ageism, anti-ageism, and the denial of aging. Second, the author shows the selling and buying of these holidays involves potentially problematic age-salient positioning of the client. |
