Resumo: | The continuous aging population increase has been verified in all human societies. Therefore, it is necessary to act individually and collectively to reduce stigmata and prejudices impregnated in the society. Longevity has grown significantly, but the prejudices against old people are still very alive in our society. In the course of the discussions we will be reporting the statements of some individuals over sixty belonging to a cultural group constituted by first-and-second-generation Japanese descendants in Brazil. This descriptive study was supported by a specific bibliography and by a structured interview on what they consider old age. One of the remarkable aspects of the interviews was that, though belonging to a so-called modern society, the Japanese descendants do not consider themselves old nor like to be called so, in opposition to society’s concepts and prejudices. Aging is not relevant for them, but its importance pervades current society. Another relevant aspect in our study was to verify that what is really important for the interviewees is life valuing and enjoying the pleasure to live day by day. |

A longevidade tem sido significativamente aumentada, mas os preconceitos em relação ao idoso encontram-se muito presentes em nosso meio social. Na discussão dessas questões, relataremos os depoimentos de alguns indivíduos com mais de 60 anos de um grupo cultural descendente de japoneses, como dos isseis (primeira geração de japoneses no Brasil) e dos nisseis (segunda geração: filhos de japoneses nascidos no Brasil). Este estudo caracterizou-se como sendo do tipo descritivo, utilizando a bibliografia específica relacionada ao tema proposto e com aplicação de uma entrevista estruturada sobre a questão de quem é considerado velho e idoso para eles. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, um dos aspectos que nos chamaram a atenção, nas entrevistas, foi que, mesmo estando em uma sociedade chamada moderna, os descendentes de japoneses entrevistados não se consideram velhos, e não gostam de que os chamem dessa forma, contrariando conceitos e preconceitos estabelecidos sobre esta etapa da vida. A idade para eles não é relevante, mas a relevância da questão “idade” está aí instaurada e organizada de modo a conservar a forma instituída pelo meio social. Outro aspecto relevante em nosso estudo foi constatar que o importante para as pessoas idosas entrevistadas é a valorização da vida, a apreciação do dia-a-dia, desfrutar o prazer de viver. Não carregam consigo uma linguagem do declínio, mas enfatizam, sim, a valorização da vida, procurando encontrar prazeres nas coisas mais simples do cotidiano. É interessante ressaltar que, com raras exceções, eles não se sentem velhos e gostam de estar sempre ativos.Department of Physical Education - State University of Maringá (UEM), Maringá-PR, Brazil2008-06-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/3828Journal of Physical Education; Vol 9 No 1 (1998); 53-59Journal of Physical Education; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (1998); 53-59Journal of Physical Education; v. 9 n. 1 (1998); 53-592448-2455reponame:Journal of Physical Education (Maringá)instname:Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)instacron:UEMporhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/3828/2639Lima, Sônia Maria Toyoshimainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-10T15:37:25Zoai:periodicos.uem.br/ojs:article/3828Revistahttp://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/indexPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revdef@uem.br2448-24552448-2455opendoar:2023-01-10T15:37:25Journal of Physical Education (Maringá) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)false |
