| Popis: | This article seeks to rethink some questions of how we approach to old age today, pointing out that we move from relatively clear terms (old age and aging) to a polysemic concepts that fall within what we call anachronistic or ambiguous paradigms. It is insisted that the subject of aging is probably replaced by two major poles: a non decrepit aesthetic and a resilient memory attitude, which are exemplified in two case studies. In both cases a stage of high subjective experimentation is proposed, trying to locate the aging situation from broader social and cultural parameters. |
