ETHNOGRAPHIC ROUTE

ACTIVELY AGEING IN A SOLIDARITY NETWORK FOR RETIRED ELDERLY WOMEN IN PELOTAS/RS

Abstract

This article is part of an empirical sociological study, made in 2018, whose full version was defended in a master's panel in 2019, and which was developed with retired elderly women who attend an association for pensioners and retirees in the city of Pelotas. In this sociological exercise, the notion of active ageing was problematized, in order to verify whether the elderly participating in this association experience a more active and healthier third age. The research aims to understand, in a systematic way, how the ethnographic study was constructed based on its techniques, demonstrating how They were effective in carrying out the research in the space in focus, since the reality of the facts, phenomena and experiences there observed are essential points to constructo, reflect and problematize the ethnographic route.
