  • The ambivalence of intergenerational relations through the prism of body work
    Šadl, Zdenka
    This article deals with the psychological ambivalence in intergenerational relations within the context of the care for the elderly. It starts with a brief presentation of a few key concepts that ... appear in the studies of family intergenerational relations (solidarity, conflict, ambivalence). Through the overview of several analysis that have studied family intergenerational relations it confirms the existence of the ambivalence experienced by the adult children andžor their ageing parents within their relations. Based on the conclusions gained in the research the text exposes the gendered nature of caring for the elderly 'at home' and the caregiver's stress or ambivalent feelings. In the continuation it focuses on the social and emotional complexity in intimate intergenerational caring in family life and exposes the fact that adult children remain important or even the most important providers of all forms of care for their ageing and frail parents. At the end the paper focuses on the specific tasks of care giving that carers may find aversive, disgusting or frightening and which may evoke mixed emotions and ambivalent experience from the 'child carers'.
