Abstract
Description
El objetivo de esta presentación es compartir
algunas reflexiones acerca la temática abordada
desde nuestro trabajo en proyectos de Extensión e
Investigación, donde identificamos: los modos de
nombrar la vejez y a los sujetos portadores de la
misma; los modos de ver, de nombrar, se plasman
en modos de hacer; y los modos de hacer.
Veneradas o despreciadas, amadas u odiadas,
poderosas o miserables, como dice Kaplan
( 00 ), las personas envejecidas han estado
siempre presentes, tanto física como cultural y
socialmente en todas las civilizaciones y culturas.
Desde allí, nuestra apuesta principal en tantos
años de trabajo con viejos, es mostrar la amplitud
y complejidad del tema, su construcción como
problemática y las implicancias del sentido de la
vida.
The objective of this article is to share some thoughts on the topics addressed from our work in Research and Extension Projects, where we identify: the ways of naming the elderly and elder subjects; the ways of seeing an naming; and ways of doing things. Despised or venerated, loved or hated, powerful or miserable, as Kaplan says ( 00 ), aged people have always been present both physically, culturally and socially in all civilizations and cultures. From there, our main bet in years of working with old people, is to show the breadth and complexity of the issue as problematic construction and implications of the meaning of life
