O envelhecimento pelas lentes dos filmes comerciais: uma análise do filme "Uma canção para Marion"

Abstract

The ageing of the population has become a worldwide phenomen. In this situation, understanding the process of aging becomes important for the formation of the future elderly, this new reality imposes the need of a greater reflexion on the teaching tools applied to Sciene and Biology classes in what concerns the issues of Health Education. The methodological referral occurred from the analysys content of the movie “Song for Marion” to verify the elderly people portray that are presented by this media. The corpus was delimited by analysing the content of the media, as well as the categories: i) the multiple faces of aging: loneliness, losses and discoveries ii) gender matters: old women representation in movies. We realized that the movie presents if self as a tool that makes it possible to work in Science and Biology teaching along with subjects, such as aging, death and gender matters, being able to deal with emotions and human being perceptions.
