0223/2018 - Alteridade do Corpo do Velho: Estranhamento e Dor na Saúde Coletiva. Alterity of the Elderly’s Body: Strangeness and Pain in Collective Health.
Na velhice, o corpo doente torna-se estranho e revela uma consciência de alteridade, posto que o corpo original se torna múltiplo no advir de uma temporalidade implacável e interminável. Este artigo busca investigar como o estranhamento corporal do velho o mobiliza como sujeito, produzindo os endereçamentos de ações próprias na experiência da doença e nas práticas da saúde coletiva. A pesquisa, desenvolvida na abordagem qualitativa de cunho antropológico, fundamenta-se nos pressupostos da etnografia. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com roteiro semiestruturado em universo de 57 idosos. A metodologia de Signos, Significados e Ações orientou a coleta e análise dos dados possibilitando a investigação das representações e comportamentos concretos associados à alteridade do corpo. Observou-se o sentido da produção de alteridade em relação a duas categorias analíticas associadas ao envelhecimento e à doença. Nota-se uma cisão entre o corpo ativo da memória e outro vivido com limitações no presente, repercutindo no enfrentamento do autocuidado e adesão ao tratamento. O corpo do velho é herdeiro de uma imagem corporal que se remodela sem cessar, destituindo a pessoa idosa do seu lugar de sujeito contemporâneo de si mesmo, enquanto se torna outrem.
