Being Old - Notes on ageing

This book is the result of a study that sought to investigate the perception of the elderly in relation to the themes of ageing. The research took place in two stages. The first was the search for conceptualisations and theoretical references that could provide support for theorising, and the second was field research in which interviews were carried out with 21 subjects. The theme dealt with here took into account the meanings and subjectivity of themes associated with gerontology and its anthropological dimension.
