Resumo: Since human life passes through an irreversible time axis, the passage of time makes us face with the idea of finiteness. As people age there is a change in their time perception and in the idea of their own death. With the aim of studying the changes related to their own temporality, this study analyses biographical trajectories of people in the fourth age. The analysis is based on three pillars: vital projects, organization of everyday life and bodily changes. An exploratory qualitative study was carried out based on 23 biographical interviews that constituted an intentional sample of self-validated persons, born between 1917 and 1932, from different socio-economic status and residing in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Results suggest that for people in their fourth age, time perception is narrow. There is a decentering of oneself and a concern about transcendence and continuity (symbolic and biological) both related to grandparantage.

A medida que las personas envejecen se modifica tanto la percepción del tiempo como la idea de muerte propia. Con el objetivo de indagar los cambios relativos a la propia temporalidad, el presente estudio analiza trayectorias biográficas de personas de la cuarta edad. El análisis se aborda a partir de tres ejes: proyectos vitales, organización de la vida cotidiana y cambios corporales. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo exploratorio a partir de 23 entrevistas biográficas que conformaron una muestra intencional integrada por personas autoválidas, nacidas entre los años 1917 y 1932, pertenecientes a distintos niveles socio-económicos y residentes en el Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Los resultados sugieren que, para las personas de cuarta edad, la perspectiva temporal es acotada. Se evidencia un descentramiento del sí mismo y una preocupación por la trascendencia y la continuidad (simbólica y biológica) ambas ligadas a la abuelidad.  Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2014-09-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/2142310.23925/2176-901X.2014v17i3p25-42Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 17 n. 3 (2014); 25-422176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPspahttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/21423/15668Pochintesta, Paula Analíainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-13T18:58:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/21423Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2022-12-13T18:58:23Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
