Narrativas de História de vida de mulheres idosas: Memória, subjetividade e relações de gênero

Abstract

The concern with an education for the third age was present in conferences and 2assemblies organized by UNESCO and ONU. Some programs and goals achieved from Report Delors, Congress of Vienna (1982) about aging, the Conference of Beijing (1995), about the woman and the Conference of Madrid (2002) became international marks that will give contribution for the elaboration of public policies that meet the third age in an integral form. The Research Problem approaches: the narratives of women life´s stories that attend the Opened University for third age UCTI of State University of Ponta Grossa – PR reveal the different experiences striking as well as the roles that played influencing and contributing in the integration with the other person. For answering the research questionings we made as general goal analysing the life narratives of removed people of the third age by an oral history, identifying different speeches and subjectivities. During the preparation of the thesis questionings, we made the specific goals for supporting the general one. The specific goals are: Identify the role of the third age women as protagonists of their life´s stories, record the experiences more meaningful and the memories present in the life´s history of the third age women, appreciating their narratives, enable that the records of these memories are uncovered and contribute for the enrichement of the local history. The thesis that we look for defending is that the narratives of the elderly participants of UCTI/UEPG are rich in regards present in memory and that their knowledge, their wisdom and their experiences more striking acquire importance from the moment that they give voice for their life´s history contributing with the integration with the other person. The narratives show the different world experiences and contribute for the affirmation of a identity of “occupy yourself”, in a conception of the subject hermeneutics Foucault (2004). We highlight the contribution of authors like Beauvoir, (1949), Butler (2003), Louro (2003; 2008), Scott (1992), Pedro (1994; 2007). For the comprehension about the old age concept we resort to works of Beauvoir (1990), Aristóteles (1985), Platão (1965), Cícero (2002), Sêneca (2006). For a permanent education we look for Faure (1972), Furter (1974), Oliveira (1998), Vellas (2009). In relation to the theoretical concepts of the oral history while method we base ourselves in Montenegro (1992), Meihy (1997), Moraes (1994), Alberti (2004; 2008), Ferreira (2012), Portelli (1997;1998), Thompson (1992). For genre and aging Debert (1996; 1997; 2004). About the memory Bosi (1994; 2003), Halbwachs (1990), Bobbio (1997), Pollak (2006), Le Goff (1990; 1993; 2003). The qualitative research addopted like method the Oral History, Alberti (2008), Ferreira (2000; 2012). For the collection of data were performed semistructured, interviews recorded with the authorizaton of the participants. The subjects of the research were 5 women with more than 70 years of the Continued University for the Third Age of UEPG/PR (UCTI). The theoretical-methodological prospects for analysis of the interviews are ruled by the subject hermeneutics. (FOUCAULT, 2004).
