Resumo
Esta dissertação de mestrado resulta de uma pesquisa sobre o envelhecimento a partir de mulheres na cidade de Santos, litoral paulista. Os encontros ocorreram no decorrer do ano de 2019 em três distintos grupos de atividade física voltados, preferencialmente, a pessoas com idade igual ou superior a sessenta anos. O objetivo deste estudo antropológico busca apreender de que forma as mulheres das quais me aproximei agenciam seu processo de envelhecimento e, em que medida suas escolhas tangenciam o “envelhecimento ativo”, que se trata de uma política de saúde implementada pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, a partir de 2002. Esta investigação buscou compreender como o “bem envelhecer” se apresenta na atmosfera da cidade, nos lugares em que passei mais tempo: calçadão do canal 1 e Parque Roberto Mário Santini (plataforma do emissário submarino), SESC Santos (Canal 5), Centro Esportivo Manoel Nascimento Junior (Zona Noroeste) e a casa das mulheres que me acolheram. O referencial teórico que permeia esta pesquisa é a Antropologia da Velhice articulada com a Antropologia Visual, as quais alicerçam as questões teórico-metodológicas. Entre conversas no intervalo das aulas de ginástica e hidroginástica, alongamentos próximos ao mar, “boquinhas”, cafés e variadas imagens do processo de envelhecer, é possível constatar a heterogeneidade e as subjetividades relacionadas ao envelhecimento. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram como o envelhecer é subjetivo e depende da agência de cada pessoa, ainda que haja uma linha que une os diferentes relatos na busca incessante pelo movimento, não só físico, mas como forma de dar sentido às suas vidas. Movimentar-se no sentido de se sentir viva/o.
This master's thesis is the result of research on aging among women in the city of Santos, on the coast of São Paulo. The meetings took place during the year of 2019 in three different groups of physical activity aimed, preferably, at people aged sixty or over. The objective of this anthropological study seeks to apprehend how the women I approached manage their aging process and, to what extent their choices touch "active aging", which is a health policy implemented by the World Health Organization from 2002. This investigation sought to understand how “good aging” presents itself in the city's atmosphere, in the places where I spent the most time: boardwalk on canal 1 and Parque Roberto Mário Santini (platform of the submarine outfall), SESC Santos (Canal 5) , Centro Esportivo Manoel Nascimento Junior (Zona Noroeste) and the home of the women who hosted me. The theoretical framework that permeates this research is the Anthropology of Old Age articulated with Visual Anthropology, which underpin the theoretical and methodological issues. Between conversations in the interval between gymnastics and hydrogymnastics classes, stretching by the sea, “boquinhas”, coffees and various images of the aging process, it is possible to verify the heterogeneity and subjectivities related to aging. The results of the research demonstrate how aging is subjective and depends on the agency of each person, although there is a line that unites the different reports in the relentless search for movement, not only physical, but as a way of giving meaning to their lives. Move in the direction of feeling alive.
