Dominant narratives about late life promote active aging, while anti-aging ones mobilize tropes of decline and irrelevance. In contrast, counter-narratives raise questions that spark new conversations about the promising practices that could foster more age-friendly cities. In this article, we describe our feminist and ethnographic approach to interviews and digital storytelling that aim to amplify the voices of marginalized older adults living with disability, violence, and colonialism, and share findings from this endeavor. We discuss the interviews with, and stories shared, by two disabled older adults - an Indigenous woman and a white paraplegic man - and the aging futures their counter-stories suggest. These stories reveal these participants' ongoing struggles to create meaning in their lives, and how their relationships to the physical, cultural, and social environment of the city, including its supports and services, can both support and hinder this becoming.

积极老龄化的反叙事：老年友好型城市中的残疾、创伤和欢乐

关于晚年生活的主流叙事促进了积极的衰老，而抗衰老的叙事则采用了衰退和无关紧要的比喻。相比之下，反叙事提出的问题引发了新的对话，讨论可以培育更多对老年人友好的城市的有希望的做法。在本文中，我们描述了我们采用女权主义和人种学方法进行采访和数字故事讲述，旨在扩大患有残疾、暴力和殖民主义的边缘化老年人的声音，并分享这一努力的发现。我们讨论了对两名残疾老年人（一名土著妇女和一名截瘫白人男子）的采访和分享的故事，以及他们的反面故事所暗示的老龄化未来。这些故事揭示了这些参与者为创造生活意义而不断奋斗的过程，以及他们与城市的物质、文化和社会环境（包括其支持和服务）的关系如何支持和阻碍这一转变。
