Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho procurou investigar a percepção dos idosos em relação às temáticas do envelhecimento, corpo, sexualidade e tempo. A investigação se deu em dois momentos. O primeiro, na busca das conceituações e de referenciais teóricos que pudessem dar subsídios à teorização; o segundo, na realização de uma pesquisa de campo em que foram efetuadas entrevistas com 21 sujeitos. Os temas aqui tratados levaram em consideração as abordagens que a escritora Hilda Hilst fez nas suas obras: “A obscena senhora D (2001)”, “Estar Sendo Ter Sido (2006)” e “Contos D’ESCARNIO / Textos Grotescos (2002)”, sobre significados e subjetividade de temas associados à gerontologia e à sua dimensão antropológica.
A fim de contribuir para a pesquisa de forma metodológica, a pesquisa procurou seguir princípios orientadores dos estudos culturais, com o objetivo de conhecer o significado e o contexto da obra em comento. A pesquisa qualitativa é adequada, portanto, ao estudo proposto, pois enfoca a interpretação e compreensão dos significados e da subjetividade que aparecem na obra de Hilda Hilst ao discutir a respeito do envelhecimento, corpo, sexualidade e tempo. A velhice representada se configurou como uma construção em ruinas na obra da escritora, a velhice vivenciada pelos idosos entrevistados aparece como algo tangível cheio de contratempos e de novas possibilidades do viver.
Conclui-se que alguns fragmentos da prosa ficcional hilstiana demonstram, como por trás do sarcasmo, do deboche, dos termos chulos, da agressividade e, às vezes, do nonsense de suas personagens delirantes, um amor extremado, uma preocupação e uma ternura profunda pela humanidade, bem como uma paixão exacerbada pela vida, apesar de afligida pelo sofrimento dos seres humanos de modo geral. Estes têm tomado caminhos perigosos, que têm sido condenados por uma completa inversão de valores.
This study aimed to investigate the perception of the elderly about aging, body, sexuality and time. The research took place in two stages. Firstly, searching for concepts and theoretical frameworks that would allow theorizing, and secondly, carrying out a field research in which 21 subjects were interviewed. The covered matters took into account the approach by the writer Hilda Hilst in her literary works: “A Obscena Senhora D” (2001), “Estar Sendo, Ter Sido” (2006), and “Contos d‟Escárneo/ Textos Grotescos” (2002), on the subjectivity and meanings associated to gerontology and their anthropological dimension. In order to contribute to the research methodology, the research sought to follow guiding principles in cultural studies, in order to identify the meaning and context of the work under discussion. Qualitative research therefore was appropriate for the proposed study because it focuses on the interpretation and understanding of the meanings and subjectivity appearing in the work of Hilda Hilst in the scope of the discussion about body, time and aging. According to this writer‟s works, age configures a building in ruins. On the other hand, for the elderly interviewed, old age was experienced as something tangible, full of setbacks and paradoxically also new possibilities of living. We conclude that some fragments of Hilstian fictional prose reveal behind sarcasm, mockery, pimps terms, aggressiveness, and sometimes nonsense of her delusional characters, an extreme love, concern and deep tenderness for humanity, as well as great passion for life. Nevertheless, this is distressed by the suffering of human beings in general. Beings who followed dangerous paths, who were condemned to a complete reversal of values.
