Resumo: The appearance in old age is still little investigated and approached in the Brazilian gerontological literature, especially regarding the male universe. This study aimed to characterize the construction and meanings of appearance for elderly men. Ethnographic orientation, using observation techniques, photographic record, and indepth interview. Participation of nine men from the University for Seniors (UATI), from the School of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities - University of São Paulo, Brazil. Three categories were identified and linked to the scope of social engagement: 1) masculinity, body, and work; 2) conjugality; and 3) denial of old age and age inadequacy. The main influencers were their wives, the occasions, and the opportunities for social involvement. The construction of appearance and its meanings played a relevant role in understanding the process of aging and the old age of the participants.

En esa investigación se buscó caracterizar la construcción y los significados de la apariencia de hombres mayores. Se utilizó de método etnográfico y técnicas de observación, registro fotográfico y entrevista en profundidad. Participaron del estudio nueve hombres mayores de la Universidad para Mayores (UATI) de la Escuela de Artes, Ciencias y Humanidades de la Universidad de São Paulo, Brasil. Fueron identificadas tres categorías, las cuales estaban relacionadas al ámbito del envolvimiento social: 1) masculinidad, cuerpo y trabajo; 2) cónyuge; y 3) la negación de la vejez y inadecuación de edad. Los más influyentes en el contexto investigado fueron las esposas, las ocasiones y el envolvimiento social. Se considera que la construcción de la apariencia y sus significados fueron relevantes a la comprensión del proceso de envejecimiento y de la vejez de los participantes.A aparência na velhice ainda é pouco investigada e abordada na literatura gerontológica brasileira, especialmente no que tange ao universo masculino. Assim, buscou-se caracterizar a construção e significados da aparência para homens idosos. Orientação etnográfica, com uso das técnicas de observação, registro fotográfico e entrevista em profundidade. Participação de nove homens idosos integrantes da UATI EACH/USP. Identificaram-se três categorias norteadoras, vinculadas ao âmbito do engajamento social: 1) masculinidade, corpo e trabalho; 2) conjugalidade; e 3) negação da velhice e inadequação etária. Os principais influenciadores foram as esposas, os tipos de ocasião e o envolvimento social. A construção da aparência e seus significados ocupavam relevante papel na compreensão do processo de envelhecimento e da velhice dos participantes da pesquisa.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2019-11-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/2176-901X.2019v22iEspecial26p167-19810.23925/2176-901X.2019v22iEspecial26p167-198Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 22 (2019): NÚMERO ESPECIAL 26 - Envelhecimento e Aparência; 167-1982176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/2176-901X.2019v22iEspecial26p167-198/30593Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Kairós : Gerontologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRamos, Leônidas SilvaYokomizo, PatríciaLopes, Andrea2019-11-29T00:37:18Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/46187Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2019-11-29T00:37:18Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
