Resumo
O aumento percentual da população idosa vem provocando um enorme impacto no espaço e no cenário da sociedade brasileira e tem sido relatado como o principal impulso para as mudanças no modo de se conceber e agir sobre a velhice. As idades avançadas da vida passaram a atrair a atenção de vários segmentos da sociedade, principalmente do Estado, do mercado e das ciências. Com isso, foram criados mecanismos específicos de gestão do envelhecimento, tais como o asilo de velhos, a aposentadoria, a geriatria, a gerontologia e um conjunto de leis específicas. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo percorrer as conexões que se estabelecem entre os saberes científicos, o aparato legal, as políticas públicas e contrastando-as com a experiência vivenciada no envelhecimento. A fim de compararmos as garantias legais com a realidade vivida pelos idosos, dedicamos parte do nosso trabalho à análise da situação do idoso em uma das cidades com maior proporção de idosos do estado de São Paulo. Como primeira observação empírica sobre o município analisado, cabe assinalar o fosso que separa o discurso oficial da realidade vivida. Os serviços disponíveis na cidade dirigidos aos idosos retratam bem que as garantias previstas na legislação nem sempre se efetivam na prática em forma de políticas públicas. A cidade mostra a força da gerontologia e dos projetos de atenção, executados por entidades públicas ou privadas, na condução da vida dos idosos arregimentados como uma população subdividida em segmentos ou grupos distintos. Clubes de idosos e projetos mais elitizados, como o da Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade, delimitam um segmento tido como o de uma...
The percentage increase of the old population is provoking an enormous impact in the space and in the scenery of the Brazilian society and has been reported as the principal impulse for the changes in the way of conceiving and to act about the old age. The advanced ages of the life started to attract the attention of several segments of the society, principally of the State, of the capitalism and of the sciences. There were created specific mechanisms of management of the aging, like the asylums of old, retirement, the geriatrics, the gerontology, and a set of specifics laws. The present research had objective go through the connections that are established between the scientific knowledge, the legal pomp, the public policies and to contrast it with the experience lived by the aging. In order to compare the legal guarantees with the reality lived by the old ones, we dedicate part of our work to the analysis of the situation of the senior citizen in one of the cities with bigger proportion of old population of the state of Sao Paulo. As the first empirical observation, about the city examined, it suits to mark the trench that separates the official speech of the reality experienced in life. The services available in this city, turned to the seniors citizens, show well that the guarantees predicted in the legislation not always bring effect in practice in form of public policies. The city shows the strength of the gerontology and of the projects of attention, executed by public or private entities, in the driving life of the old age, regimented like a population subdivided in segments or distinct groups. Clubs of seniors and others elitist projects, as the Universidade Aberta à Terceira Idade... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
