Resumo
This research investigates the experience of aging in middle-class elderly women in
Goiânia, focusing on the possibilities for embodiments. The theoretical basis of the
discussion proposed here is the idea of performative embodiment of corporeality
(BUTLER, 1993), based on the concept of embodiment (CSORDAS, 1994), seeking to
establish relations with the fieldwork in 2011, in gyms in this capital. Special attention
is given to issues related to body techniques practiced by these women, the individual
management of their own aging process and the construction of feminine identities in
old age. We consider the subjectivities, meanings and practices undertaken by them in
the life course, paying particular attention to the observed changes in their bodies, the
way it influences the configuration of their identities and also to how these women are
perceived in their family relationships – gender and intergenerational. This study is
located in the field of Anthropology of Aging and Anthropology of the Body.
