摘要

摘要当代法律一直在应对老龄化社会的挑战。老年人已经逐渐成为一个特殊的社会群体，即使不是弱势群体，也要以保护的名义受到法律的保护、照顾，甚至审查。联合国长期以来一直在讨论一项保护老年人独特人权的公约，同时援引《残疾人权利公约》来保护老年人的尊严。根据国家法律，成年人监护、福利和医疗法以更好的老年护理的名义得到加强，但却迫使老年人放弃他们成年后享有的自由和自主权。因此，本文主张构建“老有所养”的社会法律体系，以回应老年人维护个人尊严的特殊需要。通过观察护理老人的叙述，可以呈现台湾老人的社会法律形象以供分析。提出了老年人人格尊严的社会法制建设建议。

Construction of Socio-Legal Dignity for Old Persons: Narrative Perspectives from Taiwan

Abstract Contemporary laws have been responding to the challenges of ageing societies. Elder people have gradually become a special, if not disadvantaged, social group to be protected, cared for, and even censored by law in the name of protection. The UN has long discussed a Convention to protect the distinctive human rights of old persons while invoking the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to protect the dignity of senior citizens. Under national laws, adult-guardianship, welfare, and medical laws are strengthened in the name of better elder care, yet forcing old people to give up the freedom and autonomy that they have enjoyed throughout adulthood. This paper thus argues for the socio-legal construction of “elderhood” to respond to the special needs of senior citizens to maintain individual dignity. By observing narrative accounts of elders in care, socio-legal images of Taiwan elderhood may be presented for analyses. A proposal is then made to suggest the socio-legal construction of the individual dignity of elder people.

期刊介绍： The Asian Journal of Law and Society (AJLS) adds an increasingly important Asian perspective to global law and society scholarship. This independent, peer-reviewed publication encourages empirical and multi-disciplinary research and welcomes articles on law and its relationship with society in Asia, articles bringing an Asian perspective to socio-legal issues of global concern, and articles using Asia as a starting point for a comparative exploration of law and society topics. Its coverage of Asia is broad and stretches from East Asia, South Asia and South East Asia to Central Asia. A unique combination of a base in Asia and an international editorial team creates a forum for Asian and Western scholars to exchange ideas of interest to Asian scholars and professionals, those working in or on Asia, as well as all working on law and society issues globally.
