    "Media narratives in popular culture often assign interchangeable characteristics to childhood and old age, presuming a resemblance between children and the elderly. These designations in media can have far-reaching repercussions in shaping not only language, but also cognitive activity and behavior. The meaning attached to biological, numerical age--even the mere fact that we calculate a numerical age at all--is culturally determined, as is the way people "act their age." With populations aging all around the world, awareness of intergenerational relationships and associations surrounding old age is becoming urgent. Connecting Childhood and Old Age in Popular Media caters to this urgency and contributes to age literacy by supplying insights into the connection between childhood and senescence to show that people are aged by culture. Treating classic stories like the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales and Heidi; pop culture hits like The Simpsons and Mad Men; and international productions, such as Turkish television cartoons and South Korean films, contributors explore the recurrent idea that "children are like old people," as well as other relationships between children and elderly characters as constructed in literature and media from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. This volume deals with fiction and analyzes language as well as verbally sparse, visual productions, including children's literature, film, television, animation, and advertising"-- United by God and nature: Johanna Spyri's Heidi and her relationship with the elderly / Ingrid Tomkowiak -- Happily ever after for the old in Japanese fairy tales / Mayako Murai -- Vitalizing childhood through old age in Hector Malot's Sans Famille: an intersectional perspective / Elisabeth Wesseling -- The right to self-determination: ageism in two Dutch children's books on the voluntary death of elderly people / Helma Van Lierop-Debrauwer -- Extremely close generations: childhood and old age in Jonathan Safran Foer's novel / Vanessa Joosen -- The "strawberry generation": two views on intergenerational relations in post-Cold War Taiwan / Emily Murphy -- Intergenerational bonding in recent films from South Korea / Sung-ae Lee -- Mischief and mayhem: a cultural history of the relationship between children and old people in the contemporary family film / Lincoln Geraghty -- Grandparents and grandchildren in The Simpsons: intergenerational rupture and prefigurative culture / Mariano Narodowski and Veronica Gottau -- Sustaining and transgressing borders: the relationship between children and the elderly in Mad Men / Cecilia Lindgren and Johanna Sjoberg -- Representations of intergenerational relationships in children's television in Turkey: inquiries and propositions / Gke Elif Baykal and Ilgim Veryeri Alaca -- "It's disgusting!": children enacting mixed-age differences in advertising / Anna Sparrman
