Artes de gestar o envelhecimento: subjetividades, sensibilidades e memórias na Universidade Aberta á Maturidade - UAMA- Campina Grande (2008-2017).

Abstract

In this research we analyze the memory of elderly people about aging in a case study conducted at UAMA (University Open to Maturity) in Campina Grande, Paraíba. The time frame for this work encompasses the period of 2008, the year the project was created at UEPB, until 2017 training of the recent class. With general objective we discuss the memories, sensibilities and subjectivities written and told by the students at UAMA. We reflect upon the discipline and governability to aged bodies and the conception of curriculum adopted in the light of promoting healthy and active aging process. We analyze the enunciation of students and their aging perspective at UAMA as a space of sociability and intersubjectivities in the intergenerational and generational relationships built with others to (re)define esthetic of living. We discuss the diverse narratives of men and women who represent the students at UAMA reflecting upon feelings concerning the writing and self-narratives in the construction of their lives using the memory as a way to tell oneself in childhood, youth, in the family relation, relationship and work. The documents used as part of the collection of daily school routine in the institution Memories of life and narratives taken from interviews conducted with coordinators, professors and the elderly. As theorical framework we have Michel Foucault (1979), Francisco Ortega (1999), Michel de Certeau (2010) and Alistair Thompson (1997). This objective of this is to contribute in the discussion on history of education and the teaching practices to consider the experiences and subjectivities related to aging.
