Abstract

Decline narrative and progress narrative are terms associated with the work of prominent age critic Margaret Morganroth Gullette. The decline narrative understands aging as a process of loss and diminution, as movement along the life course is characterized by increasing restriction and decreasing capability. The progress narrative – though it may take different forms – stands in opposition to this and challenges the agist master narrative of aging as decline.
