Abstract

The purpose of this article is to enrich reflection on the experiences of ageing in the light of the concept of déprise, which is now authoritative in the field of gerontology in France. Initially déprise conceived as an analytical tool, making it possible to report on the experiences of ageing, déprise, according to those who conceived it, can be defined as a “process of reorganisation of life” which takes effect in the light of a previous life trajectory and a precise socio-cultural context.

Keywords: Experiences of ageing déprise
