Abstract

The biological aging process originates a whole set of cultural concepts and practices that transform the "Old age" also into a social category. Today, the old age is determined by new factors, such as increased longevity, which transform the roles associated with that age: gender identities and family structures. This phenomena challenges contemporary societies and its political and cultural structures.
