Visibility is a function of the presence of eldercare in the public discourse that changes in correspondence with societal transformations such as globalization, fundamentalistic orientations, and post-Zionist trends. 3 ethnographic case studies are analyzed to demonstrate the effect of these processes on alternative conceptions of eldercare.

The properties of these communal vocabularies are ascertained in an attempt to advance an argument interlinking care, identity, memory, and symbolic immortality. (Original abstract - amended)
